US Flag not flying in Haiti Relief Compound?

US Flag not flying in Haiti Relief Compound? March 16, 2010

Other nations are proudly flying their flags as they assist Haiti in recovering from a devastating earthquake.

But the United States is not.

Our nation has conducted relief efforts for decades through our military, saving millions of people from death, disease, and starvation. Like France, Britain, and Croatia, we have flown our flag during those operations not to note occupation but to represent the American people’s solidarity with those suffering from disaster. That historical record is answer itself to the lunatics in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and even France who indulge in paranoid hysteria [of occupation].

Fly the flag, Mr. President. Let our actions speak for themselves, but demonstrate that we aren’t ashamed to arrive anywhere in the world with that flag flying proudly.

Seems to me that a CIC who does not fly the flag where his nation and military are offering aid and comfort is a CIC with issues.

I’ve decided that I’m not all that hot for “womanly leadership”

Even so, I bet Hillary would be flying the flag! (Language warning; you are warned.)
