The Obama administration has a great new idea.\u00a0 A new military decoration for: \u201cCourageous Restraint<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0 Following is the \u201creasoning<\/em>\u201d behind the proposal:<\/p>\n

“There should be an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the troops who exhibit extraordinary courage and self-control by not using their weapons, but instead taking personal risk to de-escalate tense and potentially disastrous situations,” the statement said.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Now some narrow minded people incredibly fail to recognize the universal appeal of this award.\u00a0 There have even been irresponsible suggestions that this could result in more civilian casualties because of an increase in the use of civilians as human shields.\u00a0 What nonsense.\u00a0 The next thing we know we will be accusing terrorists of launching rockets against Israel from civilian homes.\u00a0 Why some people have even suggested terrorists might consider using civilians as suicide bombers.\u00a0 How unrealistic is that?\u00a0 Clearly the people opposed to this rule fail to understand the universal appeal of being strong enough to not fight back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course the Obama administration has shown resolve in dealing with our real enemies; like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.\u00a0 In addition the President was very forceful in pointing his finger at the executives involved in the BP oil spill while criticizing them for – finger pointing.\u00a0 We haven\u2019t had this caliber of leader in the United States since Jimmy Carter left office in 1981.\u00a0 In fact, Obama is on the verge of doing something I previously considered impossible.\u00a0 He actually makes Carter look competent by comparison.<\/p>\n
