Doc Nelson is a Combat Medic. His tweets today on Benghazi really moved me. I wanted to share them with my friends who read this blog. God bless you Doc & thank you for your service.-Alexis
Listen up tweeps, I’m gonna drop some knowledge on you about what really pisses me off about #Benghazi; then I gotta get my ass to work.

American military personnel fight the way we do not because we hate who’s in front of us, but because we love who’s beside and behind us.

And with that comes the knowledge, the assurance, the promise, that if we are ever lost, captured, in trouble, or alone, SOMEONE will come.

No risk is too great, no cost is too high, someone WILL come for you, always. You will NEVER be left alone, ever. It is engrained in us.

2 former SEALS, in spite of being told not to, ran to that building and held off 100’s of attackers. For SEVEN hours!

Do you think they ran there, and held out, secure in the knowledge SOMEONE would come? A team from Tripoli, a C-130 gunship from Aviano?

Think that with every passing hour they thought “Just a little longer, the cavalry will get here; if we can just hold out.”?

And for purely political reasons, Obama, make no mistake, only he could make this call, told assets to stand down. He left them stranded.

He broke the promise, the sacred pledge all service members hold dear. No one came for them, no one. They were left behind.

And that is what enrages me, they broke that pledge not just to those 2, but to every soldier, sailor, Marine, CIA operative and anyone that

Takes up arms in service to this nation. That is a disgrace, that is unforgivable, and that will not be forgotten. Done

And that, Hillary, is why it matters.

Made me cry. I missed the tweets – thanks for posting.
The tweets made me cry also. You are not alone. God bless you.
Thank you both for posting this. It sums up what many Americans feel about Benghazi.
Thanks Doc… For those that don’t know 68W is a Combat Medic designation. These guys have earned more MoH for having the guts to honor their pledge and throw themselves into harms way for their brothers in arms. I have a retired corpsman co-worker, former SEAL, and he is not a happy camper on this subject. Docs don’t run from the fight either.
I thank all of you in the military for your service. It is a constant reminder that freedom isn’t free and we can’t let liberty die on our generations watch. Too much blood has been shed to gain freedom. We can’t lose it because of the few people willing to exchange it for free condoms and other liberal nonsense. Thanks for commenting. I greatly appreciate it.
