Pelosi has no shame... let alone class

Nancy Pelosi has proven herself to be the preschooler standing there with her fingers in her ears humming and screaming because she doesn't want to hear the truth that she is being told.

It is a shame and quite frankly ridiculous that you have an adult, a grandmother, a Speaker of the House who would have so much disrespect and contempt for a gifted leader in our armed forces like Gen. Petraeus. This man took a bad situation, I mean BAD, and completely turned it around. One of the posts I read from Michael Yon said that there just isn't that much fighting in the country any more. Compare that with two years ago and congress (along with the rest of America) should be doing what our armed forces are doing and sing the praises of this military genius.

Here is a story about Petraeus that should give you a glimpse into the kind of leader and the kind of person that he is. I am quoting from Michael Yon's site. CAUTION: The whole story is here, but I don't think it is something that everyone will be able to read. If you accept and understand that the enemy that we are fighting is evil, pure evil, then don't read it. If you have any doubt, reading the whole post will definitely clear it up for you and leave you emotionally scarred from just reading it. So... if you are a normal human being and can't handle the reality of the evil that we face just read this.

A couple weeks ago, LTC Fred Johnson told me a story about General Petraeus.
Back when LTC Johnson was Captain Johnson, and General Petraeus was Colonel
Petraeus, Colonel Petraeus was Captain Johnson’s new commander. They were doing a live-fire exercise at a range at Fort Campbell when a young soldier named
Specialist Terrence Jones tripped and accidentally fired his weapon while
conducting a live-fire assault. The bullet from Specialist Jones’ weapon struck
Colonel Petraeus, slamming through his chest and taking a piece of his back on
the way out. Petraeus fell to the ground, bleeding out of his mouth. He nearly
died. We could have lost one of the most important and influential military
leaders in generations to a mistake. To a professional misstep.

The best that Captain Johnson and Specialist Jones might have hoped for was a painless end to their military service. I asked LTC Fred Johnson about the story of his own soldier shooting David Petraeus, and I asked how it could be that Johnson
was still in the military.

Johnson looked me in the eye and said something like, “Mike. You know what Petraeus did?”

“What?” I asked.

“He gave me a second chance.”Fred Johnson actually got picked up for promotion early.

“But what happened to the young soldier?” I asked, thinking surely there had to be a consequence. Conventional wisdom stipulates that for balance to be restored
after accidentally shooting and nearly killing a superior officer, a sacrifice
of some magnitude is necessary. A soldier just can’t shoot a commander in the
chest and walk away. There is no such thing as an “accidental
discharge.” Unplanned bullet launches are called “negligent
discharges.” As in negligent homicide.

LTC Johnson answered something like, “Mike, you won’t believe how Jones was punished. Petraeus sent Jones to Ranger School.”

I couldn’t believe my ears! That’s a punishment that a lot of young soldiers dream about, even though Ranger School is a very difficult course. But after thinking on it awhile, I realized it probably explains why LTC Johnson sometimes says, “I believe in second chances.”

Fred Johnson said it just the other day. He said it to me, “When someone gives you a second chance, you should pass it along.”

That's the kind of men who are fighting this war. That's the kind of leader that Pelosi should be, but clearly isn't.

Praise God that we have men like General David Petraeus. He should be treated with the utmost respect. I think it’s obvious that he’s earned it.
