As a person who has family that served in the US Military, this disgusts me. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is now saying that the US should do actions to please the Muslims. His critique is that America needs to do better actions to win over the Hearts and Minds of Islamic people.
WASHINGTON – The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has written a searing critique of government efforts at “strategic communication” with the Muslim world, saying that no amount of public relations will establish credibility if American behavior overseas is perceived as arrogant, uncaring or insulting.
The critique by the chairman, Adm. Mike Mullen, comes as the United States is widely believed to be losing ground in the war of ideas against extremist Islamist ideology. The issue is particularly relevant as the Obama administration orders fresh efforts to counter militant propaganda, part of its broader strategy to defeat the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
“To put it simply, we need to worry a lot less about how to communicate our actions and much more about what our actions communicate,” Admiral Mullen wrote in the critique, an essay to be published Friday by Joint Force Quarterly, an official military journal.

Did we try to win the communication war with the Nazis or Imperial Japanese? The answer is no, we won the war with these 2 nations militarily. This is an example of the Transnational Progressive disease now infiltrating our Military. We need to develop methods to defeat the Islamo-Fascists militarily. They don’t care what we think of them, we should not care what they think of us. We need to make them FEAR us!
To the Blogmocracy Military Veterans, I would love your take on this. My opinion, we need to be focus on defeating and crushing them, not them liking us.
