Lt. Col. Ralph Peters on our military’s politically correct Rules of Engagement

Lt. Col. Ralph Peters discusses the politically correct Afghan strategy and the suicidal Rules of Engagement our military and civilian leaders have sent our servicemen and women into battle with.

Pentagon refuses to acknowledge the involvement of political correctness in Ft. Hood terrorist attack

Civilian and military brass at the Pentagon want you to believe that the terrorist attack (oh wait, they won’t even call it a terrorist attack) was the result of negligence by Maj.
