Patton said, "Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way." Mr. President, are you listening? We are nearing the end of the president's second year in office and, as he promised, things have changed in Iraq and Afghanistan. But the question is not if things have changed, but have they improved. The decision to go to war is political. The decision to end a war is political. But war itself is not. The president is expert at politics; the military is expert at war. The president must balance political realities with military realities. And during peacetime political realities often carry more weight than military ones. But during times of war, if military realities cannot carry more weight than political ones, should we even be at war? The president, as commander-in-chief, must provide his troops the resources needed to succeed. And not just to succeed, but also to succeed minimizing loss of American life and secondarily, minimizing loss of innocent civilian lives. Isn't doing anything less a failure of command? Is the president conducting the war in Afghanistan as it should be? Or is he allowing politics to supplant competent military judgment at the expense of American lives? Does the president understand the realities of war? The Civil War's General Sherman explained war saying, "War is cruelty. There's no use trying to reform it, the crueler it is the sooner it will be over." But President Obama has ended two key American strategies, suggesting he might not understand. The military previously provided excellent air support for the ground forces, minimizing the loss of American lives while maximizing success. But, there were civilian deaths because the enemy cowardly hides in civilian areas behind civilian shields. And besides the bombing, Special Forces regularly executed night missions directed at selected Taliban leaders. The air support and the night missions were successful and saved American lives. But the president ignored Sun Tze's advice, "The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on." Air support for ground forces decreased more than 75% and the valuable and successful night raids targeting key Taliban leaders were nearly eliminated. Why? Why would the president reluctantly agree to give McChrystal more troops only to purposefully place them at unnecessary risk? The logic for the loss of air support? Now that we have more ground forces, we can forgo some of the air support that resulted in civilian casualties. The result of this decision? Newspaper headlines succinctly answer the question. Shortly after the policy change on air support they read, "Airstrikes in Afghanistan drop by almost half" and "Coalition eases up on Afghan airstrikes." Now that his policy has been in place the headlines read, "Afghanistan war toll hit high mark," and "U.S. military death toll in Afghanistan reaches 1,000." And why the dramatic decrease in Special Forces night missions? They are deemed "too violent" and too risky for the civilians in the homes hiding the targeted Taliban leaders. Aren't these encounters supposed to be violent, overwhelmingly violent? Well, how are Special Forces treated when they do their job? Remember the seal team that captured Ahmed Hashim Abed who was behind the ambush of four Blackwater guards in 2004, their bodies burned and dragged throughout the city, then hung from a bridge. The capture was violent, the seals risking their lives to capture Abed alive. And the result of this daring and heroic capture? Maybe congratulations? Maybe medals? Neither. Three of the seals faced charges because of the bloody lip Abed sustained. Mr. President, either bring our children home or listen to General Douglas MacArthur's admonition, "It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it." If you decide to keep our children there, then lead, follow or get out of the way. Craig L.

Who are the men and women we honor each year on Veterans Day?  An anonymous person offered the following description - "A veteran is someone who at one point in life wrote a blank check made payable to the United States of America for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'"  What makes them write this check, make this promise, show this love of country, this loyalty to country?  Could you or I write this check? The 1998 movie "Saving Private Ryan" offers us a glimpse of these values, this character.  It chronicles a squad of Army Rangers sent behind enemy lines to find Private Ryan, his family's sole surviving son.  It was based on the true story of Fritz Nilrod who lost two brothers at Normandy and whose third brother was missing in action in Burma, making him his family's sole surviving son. Per military protocol, any sole surviving son is to be removed from combat.  The Rangers saved Private Ryan, but at the cost of American lives.  He and the soldiers who died saving him showed us the same character displayed by an Airborne private during World War II's Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944-1945.  The Germans had broken through Allied lines in the Belgian Ardennes, "bulging" into France.  American forces were retreating at a rapid pace.  To bolster the manpower and improve the morale, members of the famed 82nd Airborne were sent. A lone Airborne soldier was digging a foxhole along a road as an American tank destroyer was retreating, fleeing ahead of the advancing German army.  The tank destroyer stopped where the private was digging and the private asked, "Are you looking for a safe place?"  When the tankers said yes, the Airborne soldier responded, "Just pull up behind me.  I'm the 82nd Airborne, and this is as far as the bast--s are going!" One Airborne soldier.  The German army.  No problem.  He symbolized the pride and the power of the United States of America.  Duty, honor, country. A similar event occurred during Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982.  United States Marines were sent to Lebanon as peacekeepers.  In early 1983, three Israeli tanks tried to run a road block at Rayan University Library in southern Lebanon that was manned by a unit of Marines. Marine Capt. Charles B. Johnson ran toward the lead tank, stood in the middle of the road, drew his pistol, held it at the 45 degree "ready" position and said, "If you come through, it will be over my dead body." As he escorted the tank off the road, the other two tanks tried to run the road block.  The captain jumped onto the second tank, grabbing the Israeli tank commander.  The tanks turned around. One Marine.  Three tanks.  No problem.  He symbolized the pride and the power of the United States of America.  Duty, honor, country. What did these men possess that the rest of us do not?  What do we owe them for their sacrifices, for the sacrifices of their families who live with the constant fear of opening the door to hear, "I am sorry to inform you . . . ?" And what of Private Ryan?  The movie ends with him an old man, visiting the grave of the captain who died returning him to safety.  Etched in his brain all these decades were the dying words of Captain Miller, "Earn this.  Earn it." With tears running down his cheeks, he turns to his wife pleading, "Tell me I have led a good life.  Tell me I'm a good man."  He wanted to know if he earned what those men died to give him.  Aren't we all Private Ryans? Have we earned what 30 million American veterans gave us?  Have we earned what over 650,000 Americans died to give us? Tomorrow morning look in the mirror.  "Have I earned this?  Have I earned it?"  Thirty million veterans deserve an answer.  More important, you deserve an answer.

Do you ever wonder about our lost values, our disappearing common sense?  Where is our foundation, our cornerstone, showing us the values that are America?  Our foundation is crumbling and a cornerstone is hard to find.  And we have fewer anchors to look to for help understanding what we are, and what we should aspire to be. Nearly 30 years ago, I met such a man, such an anchor, although I did not realize it at the time.  Our first meeting was in the emergency department of Bannock Memorial Hospital.  He was a bit confused when I very kindly, but firmly, asked him to please read, and sign, about 500 pages of consents.  With a boisterous voice, he suggested that might be excessive; I suggested it made a great deal of sense. Through these years of our friendship, we have developed a heartfelt respect for one another.  I found myself admiring this man who could approach his work with the values of justice, mercy and grace.  Justice--getting what you deserve; mercy--not getting what you deserve; and grace--getting what you do not deserve. Moreover, he handed these out with wisdom and common sense, knowing when each of these values applied. I saw the true greatness of this man when I tried to help a young person who was in trouble.  I watched my friend work.  I was in awe.  He did not need to know all that he did about this person.  He did not have to care as he did. He had well-defined rules he could opt to follow. Why was my friend devoting this much time and attention to one person?  Why was he wasting his time listening to my arguments; why was he even tolerating my arguments?  He knew I was wrong.  He knew he was right.  But, nonetheless he listened and thought and worried about what was best for this person. His job was justice, but he saw it as more.  He saw an even greater duty.  I watched all that is good about this country's values as he diligently decided justice, mercy or grace.  Mercy was out.  This young person had committed too many wrongs.  Justice would be the safest bet.  No risk of second-guessing.  No risk of embarrassment.  No angst of interjecting a human being into the decision. His answer to this young person? "I have known and respected this man for nearly 20 years and for reasons I cannot understand, he has decided to lay his reputation on my desk for you.  You will be allowed to do what Dr. Bosley requests."  The young person changed her life.  My friend took a chance.  He changed a life.  He saved a life.  That day I witnessed grace. Many years later, working with another person in trouble, my friend gave a wonderful lesson on common sense; common sense applied in a fashion that caused me to smile with admiration.  My friend repeatedly asked this person to sit quietly and listen.  He even offered this person the opportunity of a very clear verbal education. Lacking in judgment, this person decided not to listen, instead erroneously assuming challenge was the best approach.  He could not have been more wrong. This person still learned the value of sitting quietly and listening, which he did for the remainder of his time working with my friend; although it took a novel, common sense use of duct tape over his mouth to finish the important lesson of sitting quietly and listening when told to do so. Values and common sense. My friend? Retired Judge Peter D. McDermott.  We need more Peter McDermott's in this world, more values, more common sense. When most of us retire, we will not have excelled as the judge did.  But he is a model, a goal, a reminder of what we can do.  Thankfully, we occasionally have the privilege of knowing a Peter McDermott who reminds us.  Thank you Your Honor.

Response of Todd Beamer, one of the heroes of Flight 93, just before he and fellow passengers rushed the cockpit upon hearing that three other passenger planes had been used as weapons on 9/11.   Have you ever watched a sheepdog working with sheep?  Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, author of the book "On Killing," discusses sheep and sheepdogs, drawing comparisons between sheep, sheepdogs and us. The sheepdog herds the sheep, keeps them where they belong, makes them follow the rules, and nips at them when needed; all a bit irritating to the sheep.  Moreover, the sheepdog is always nervous, always sniffing the air, always watching, always on the alert. Why does he act like this?  Because, unlike the sheep, the sheepdog is always looking for the wolf he knows is there, a constant reminder to the sheep that there are wolves out there who want to kill them.  Sometimes the sheep so tire of this unending reminder they wish the sheepdog would just go away. But, what happens when the wolf shows up, wanting to kill as many sheep as possible?  The sheep turn and run as fast as they can; but not the sheepdog.  He does not join the sheep in a mad dash for survival, even though he could easily outrun the sheep, leaving them on their own. No, he does not run.  Instead, he turns and faces the wolf, prepared to die protecting the sheep.  Odd behavior, especially since sheepdogs don't want to fight wolves, instinctively knowing they could die.  Yet, the sheepdog is the first to take the fight to the wolf because he's a sheepdog and that's what sheepdogs do. Lt. Col. Grossman suggests we are much like sheep and sheepdogs; neither is superior, each has value, and both are needed to make our society what it is. Remember the terrorists flying planes into the World Trade Center towers?  Most of us were thankful we were not on those flights; but a few of us wished we had been because we might have made a difference.  The few who wanted to be on those flights are sheepdogs and that's what sheepdogs do. Remember a few years ago the mass shooting at Trolley Square in Salt Lake City?  A gunman opened fire in the mall and people were running for their lives. That is, except for one man.  That man was an off-duty police officer who, rather than run, turned and moved to the sound of the gun.  Why didn't he run to safety?  Why did he risk his life?  Because he's a sheepdog and that's what sheepdogs do. Our military personnel are also sheepdogs, always looking for the wolves in the world, always alert for evil, following the words of Flavius Vegetius Renatus, who in 375 A.D. said, "Let him who desires peace prepare for war."  So, our troops, hoping for peace, prepare for war, accepting the reality there are wolves in the world and those wolves want to destroy us. Some of us sheep do not understand this constant preparation for war, erroneously believing our troops are hoping for war, hoping for the opportunity to fight, hoping for the opportunity to kill. Not so.  More than the rest of us, they understand the reality of war, the carnage of war, the lives lost in war.  No, they do not want a war.   They do not want to have to fight the wolf any more than the sheepdog does.  But, just like the sheepdog, they will fight, they will move to the sound of the gun. We are lucky we have sheep and sheepdogs because both are important.  Unfortunately, we sometimes forget the value of our sheepdogs.  Sometimes they are an irritating reminder there are people who want to destroy us,  making us wish our sheepdogs would go away.  But without sheepdogs we would perish.  Let's always appreciate them, those who move to the sound of the gun.

Returning from a trip, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates found his front door jammed. Four police officers and two men; one black, a noted Harvard professor, and one Jewish, a famous singer --each with a recent police encounter. Returning from a trip, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates found his front door jammed.  He tried to force it open and then he and his chauffeur got in through the back door.  According to Officer Figueroa's police report, a neighbor called the police saying she saw "a man wedging his shoulder into the front door as if to pry the door open."  And contrary to media reports, she did not identify the men by their race.  Further, Figueroa, the second officer on the scene, is also black. The first officer on the scene, Sgt. James Crowley, teaches a class on racial profiling and race relations, picked to do so by a former police commissioner who is black.  Sgt. Crowley was responding to a possible "crime in progress" and found two men inside the house.  Shortly thereafter, Figueroa arrived and witnessed the professor's behavior.   According to his report, professor Gates was yelling at Sgt. Crowley, calling him a racist and saying, "This is what happens to black men in America" and "You don't know who you're messing with." The encounter ended with the professor's arrest.  The next day President Obama issued a surprise summary judgment that the police "acted stupidly," this following an admission that he did not know all the facts. Although overlooked by most media, the president is a friend of professor Gates' which explains why Obama berated the police.  The next day when the president felt the backlash of his statement, rather than apologizing to the police as he should have, he said, "I unfortunately gave an impression that I was maligning Sgt. Crowley."  Is that true or was the president intentionally degrading the sergeant? The second man is Bob Dylan, a famous singer who is Jewish.  He was killing time before a concert in New Jersey and left his hotel to take a walk.  The Associated Press reported "a resident said a man was wandering around a low-income, predominately minority neighborhood." The resident called the police and a young officer arrived who had never heard of Bob Dylan.  He asked Mr. Dylan his name, what he was doing, and for some identification.  By then a second officer arrived, just as with professor Gates. Because Mr. Dylan did not have identification with him, the officers asked him to accompany them back to his hotel to verify his identity.  He willingly complied even though he had not done anything to justify this attention.  In contrast, in professor Gates' case the police believed they might be responding to a crime. We have four police officers interacting with two men who reacted differently.  Professor Gates shouted racism while Bob Dylan, a world famous singer, cooperated with the police. He did not shout, "Racism."  He did not shout, "This is how Jewish men are treated in America."  He did not shout, "You have no idea who you are messing with." I agree with the president; this is a "teaching moment."  It's just that the president missed the lesson. Who reacted racially, Sgt. Crowley or professor Gates?  Who behaved appropriately, professor Gates or Bob Dylan? Perhaps professor Gates was unable to bury past hurts and still sees racism everywhere, even when it does not exist.  Perhaps the professor's past brought him to this encounter with an attitude that the officer did not have the right to question him? Was professor Gates modeling how to ease racial tensions or was he, perhaps unknowingly, acting racist? The real lessons to consider?  Can past hurts lead to present misconceptions?  Can people of any skin color be racist? Can shouting racism when none exists be racist?  Can viewing today through the window of the past be unproductive?  Can we move forward if we spend all our time looking backward? It's worth some thought. Print Page (http://www.craigbosley.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/20090824-Claiming-racism-can-be-racist.pdf)  Craig L.
