War on Christians

I want to start this by saying I am not religious and have no bias in this subject.

According to Senator Rand Paul there is a war of Christians right now that is being ignored by the president and the media. Christians in Syria are are starting to become nervous about losing their homes after Islamists brought down a cross and hoisted a black flag on a church in the Syrian city of Raqqah, and as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria gain power. I also believe there is some aggression in America if yo think about it. Tim Tebow is constantly under scrutiny for being a christian while Michael Vick fought dogs and it didn't see nearly the coverage. Other places of attack can be seen in the military; Soldiers in a Mississippi base were taught that the American Family Association was a “hate group”.

Breithart Government Shutdown

Breithart Government Shutdown

The Breithart memorial was shut down due to the government shutdown. The WWII veterans went to visit the memorial as they do once a year. The memorial is shutdown due to the fact funds aren't there, but according to the drudge report the security of the park have not have their funding cut. Therefore the Obama administration actually spent money to close down the park for what ever reason. So the veterans stormed the barricades to get to the memorial (once again the older generation does what's right) and had their celebration anyway. They did this the following day along with some republican congressmen.

I don't see any point in this. The current administration is going to take another blow for this because even left wingers are for WWII vets because of their contributions and sacrifices to our country.

Battle of Mogadishu Success or Failure?

In the military's eyes the Battle of Mogadishu was a failure but was it? The objective was to go in and capture two high value warlords and was done but with complications. The operation was supposed to be a quick hit and run raid but after two black hawks were shot down, the enemy had time to prepare the rest of their militia and quickly the hit and run became a all out firefight in the streets of Mogadishu. This resulted in 18 Americans soldiers dead and 73 wounded. The military has declared the operation a failure due to their strict standards but many Americans disagree.

I personally believe that the operation was a failure due to the fact so many soldiers were wounded and killed during what was supposed to be a quick raid that would have most likely had a significantly lower number of casualties. The argument on the opposing side is the mission was technically accomplished. Also, the soldiers were not provided with the proper heavy equipment and was what the military officially blames it on. The man in charge General Garrison accepted all responsibility for the operation even though his soldiers have described him as the finest leader they could have had.

As to whether or not it was a failure, officially it was but as much as our government doesn't tell us and distorts info who's to know. The objective was accomplished but at much to great of a cost. I believe the mission was a failure.
