CERTAINLY AS A COMMANDER IN
CHIEF.
HE HAS NO RIGHT TO BE THERE.
>> I WANT TO ASK YOU
SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THAT MOMENT
WHEN YOU HELD UP YOUR FATHER’S
ID TAG AND TALKED ABOUT YOUR
FAMILY AND YOUR FATHER BEING
KILLED IN THE WAR.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS
REPORTED IN "THE WASHINGTON
POST," I WILL QUOTE FROM THE
POST HERE.
THE PRESIDENT TOLD SENIOR
ADVISERS, HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT PUT SUCH
WHY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT PUT SUCH
VALUE ON FINDING SOLDIERS SO POORLY.
I HAVE TO ASK YOU YOUR CONNECTION.
>> WE HAVE AN ETHOS.
ONE OF THE REASONS IS THEY’LL DO
AMAZING THINGS BECAUSE THEY
TRUST THE CHAIN OF COMMAND TO
BRING THEM BACK.
THE CHAIN OF COMMAND WILL GIVE
THEM BULLETS AND FOOD AND THE
LEADERSHIP THEY NEED IN ORDER TO
PROSECUTE THE MISSION.
SO THIS DOG TAG.
THIS TAG WAS FOUND BY A MEMBER
OF THE JOINT FORCE TEAM.
TEAMS THAT GO TO FORMER WAR
ZONES AND BRING BACK THE REMAIN
OF OUR FALLEN.
YOU CAN SEE IT IS MANGLED.
WHAT HAPPENS TO A DOG TAG?
IN AN EXPLOSION WHEN THE
AIRCRAFT GOES DOWN, THIS GREAT
COUNTRY GOES TO GREAT LENGTHS TO
BRING BACK OUR FALLEN.
AGAIN, THE REASON THE AMERICAN
SOLDIERS DOES SO WELL IS HE
TRUST THE CHAIN OF COMMANDS TO
DO JUST THAT.
UNFORTUNATELY AFTER WHAT WE
HEARD OF THIS PARTICULAR
PRESIDENT.
IT IS A HARD SELL TO EVERY
SERGEANT TRYING TO SOLDIERIZE
AND TRYING TO BUILD EVERY YOUNG
MEN AND WOMEN WHO COMES OUT OF
OUR DOORS.
>> RETIERED MAJOR GENERAL, PAUL
EATON, IT IS AN HONOR TO HAVE
YOU WITH US TONIGHT.
THIS WAS A BIG ONE.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING US
UNDERSTAND AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR SERVICE, SIR.
