Stark: What are these damned soldiers doing in my presence?
This moonbat, Fortney “Pete” Stark (D-CA), just keeps on fluttering. From the Freepers:
Dear Secretary Gates:
Yesterday, while voting on the war supplemental spending bill in the House of Representatives, I couldn’t help but notice a contingent of approximately 20 flag rank Army officers sitting in the House Gallery watching the debate and vote for a couple of hours. I was looking from below so I thought they were Army, but there could have been other branches present.
It’s possible they were on leave time or vacation. If so, I obviously have no concern. However, if they were doing this on military time, I want an explanation of why they were there.
At a time when our nation is at war, our troops are over-extended, and the Administration is literally asking for emergency military spending, what good to the “war on terror” is having US Generals and other top ranked officers - who were likely accompanied by staff and escorted by their chauffeurs - spending hours sitting in the gallery of the House of Representatives?
Please provide for me the name, rank, branch, and duties of each of these officers, as well as the number of additional staff and drivers that were used to facilitate their attendance yesterday. I would like this information by Monday, May 19th.
If they were here on official duty, this was an abhorrent misallocation of our military resources at a time of war.
Sincerely,
Pete Stark
But hey…the left “supports the troops”, right? What an #ssh0le.

I sincerely hope that Sec Gates responds with a very proper “F#ck you Pete!”

Was he afraid that military officials would actually witness what these elected officials really say about our soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen?
Hey Pete! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!!!

I have a better idea. Let’s call for an “explanation” of the allocation of government resources that are being wasted every day on idiots in Congress like Stark!
A$$hole doesn’t even begin to describe this jerk.
I agree Lee — Gates needs to tell him to go F#ck himself.

Dear Pete: give my soldiers the money they need, and STFU. Hugs and kisses, SecDef.

Let’s bring the troops home and let them target our real enemies, the Amerikan Communist Insurgency(”Liberal”ism, progressivism) before we become like England:
