Valdosta News Media Continues to Blast President Barack Obama and members of our Armed Forces Executive Commander-In Chief! How sad?

TO: Editors, Internet, Blogs, and Beyond

On October 21, 2009, the Valdosta Daily Times once again criticized the Executive Commander-In-Chief of all members of our Armed Forces now serving in Iraq, and Afghanistan. How Sad?

The Times published rants, raves, and letters to the editor along with cartoons that look like two members of our armed forces serving in Iraq and Afghanistan holding a military M-16 Combat Riffle.

Both soldiers look Black and one of the Black Soldiers is saying “I happen to like FOX NEWS.” With President Obama standing between the two Black Soldiers pointing his finger towards the other soldier with an M-16,saying “Shoot Him!"

Please note! That Valdosta is the home of Moody Air Force Base and consists of Airmen from all nationalities, religious persuasions, various political party affiliations and this type reporting can only cause disunity and a breakdown of moral within military ranks.

There is already enough hardship upon our military members, their spouses, and children without adding more. Moreover their children here in Valdosta have already been denied the right to watch the presidents live speech on television because of Valdosta City School Superintendent Bill Cason that has caused much tension in the Valdosta community.

Moreover this will not be good when recruiters seek to get our children to enlist into the armed forces. These negatives will only complicate and cause disunity within the armed forces.

As a retired military veteran this is wrong and sets a bad precedence for how we respect future presidents. America can do better in respecting our men and women Executive Commoner-In-Chief of our Armed Forces in 2009. God bless South Georgia News Media Outlets, and our beloved Republic!

*Why have the squadron, base, and wing commanders at Moody Air Force Base allowed the members of our military Executive Commander-In-Chief to be disrespected in the press?  Is not Moody Air Force Base located in the City of Valdosta?  
 
I served for over twenty years in the United States Armed Forces and this type of disrespect of an American President was never permitted or accepted.  What is going to happen when recruiters ask the daughters and sons of these parents now serving in our armed force that does not like the criticism of the 44th President?  God forbid, if they refuse to serve their nation because of this continuous venom from elected officials,  newspapers, television, and radio stations here in Valdosta Georgia? 
 
We can do much better as a nation.......God bless America and all who served our beloved nation...
