Meet Rod Thompson
Rod Thompson was born in Athens, GA. As a child of the 1980s, Rod spent his formidable teen years watching his parents fight to keep their heads above the poverty level, in the aftermath of divorce and economic downfall. Learning the importance of self-improvement and personal motivation, in 1999, Rod enlisted in the United States Navy, serving for almost twenty-three years on Active Duty, to include ten combatant deployments around the globe, for a combined total of more than six years abroad in defense of the United States.
In 2003, Rod was onboard USS Constellation where he felt the roar of jets launching in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, beginning the war in Iraq. Rod was later deployed in Talil, Iraq in 2006, where he conducted surveillance, intelligence gathering and troop support operations, playing a vital role in US troops pushing back the rising insurgency.

Left wing, pro-Hamas/Palestinian protestors are chanting, “Death to America,” even as I type this.
On American soil, these pathetic humans thrash and scream at the sky because they support a terrorist state who kicked the wrong ant-hill when it needlessly murdered and kidnapped more ...than one-thousand civilian men, women, and children. Now these first-world sympathizers, who’ve never seen conflict, weep and wail because Hamas started a war and must face the recourse for their actions.
Good for them on utilizing their right to peacefully assemble, speak, and protest. Still, I give them no more concern than I’d offer a bratty child, rolling about on the floor and stomping its feetsies after being punished for slapping the neighbor.
Perhaps they should teach history in Palestine as fervently as they teach hate, because less than 100 years ago, Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor resulted in the deaths of 3.1 million Japanese soldiers and citizens. You cannot start a war, then play the victim when your adversaries retaliate.
These cravens can chant Death to America all day long, but the second they take provacative action - we’re going to have a huge problem, and even the weakest liberal among you will have to choose a side. Their numbers grow with every passing military aged male who crosses the southern border. They come here unaccompanied, oftentimes wearing tactical gear that cost thousands of dollars.
We are told that they are refugees, fleeing war-torn parts of the world, but when you flee conflict, you take your family with you. It’s only when going to war, that you leave them behind.
Many of you are blinded by the comforts that we enjoy in this country, and look away from what’s coming, like children unwilling to look down a darkened hallway, but it’s happening all the same. This is getting out of hand, and it’s escalating quickly.
I have known Bill since I got into Politics, and he is top-notch worthy of this award!
This is atrocious!
When is the U.S. military going to admit that it has serious systemic issues. Soldiers and Sailors joke about command climate and material issues, yet “the brass” keep diverting and posturing to avoid political blowback.
I’ve listened to Admirals lament ...over inadequate funding and training, and the loss of stoicism in military fighting men and women. I once heard a two-star exclaim, “We’re going to lose a carrier strike group before the Navy gets its shit together.”
Meanwhile, it’s America’s sons and daughters who will ultimately pay the price for this gross mismanagement. The Sailors I led will fall because of a system that supports political agendas over warfighting prowess and mental toughness.
This has to end!
When I was on active duty, at some point during the Obama administration, our Secretary of the Navy was a politician who served for a mere four years back in the 1970s. We need WARFIGHTERS LEADING WARFIGHTERS, not CEOs and politicians looking for a cool title and embossed dinnerware.
I could rant about this to no end, and even offer solutions, but we need more people like Jen Kiggans in Washington, who are prepared to hold people’s feet to the fire when it comes to the lives and readiness of our military personnel! We need shipyards and repair depots hiring top-tier personnel and pay attractive wages. We need the American people to own our role as the strongest country on this planet, and the silent global peacekeepers, but we can only do this through an intimidating, strong military, that is ready to exact lethal force at a moments notice.
The maintenance-embattled USS Boxer is heading back to San Diego just 10 days after deploying due to an engineering issue, as first reported by USNI...
www.military.comThe United States will always be the centerpoint for security and stability in the world.
We’ve lost our way, chasing socially liberal idiocy and political correctness, and the chaos in the world is the result.
It’s time for the United States to get its stuff together and ...elect strong leadership across the board.

Looking forward to the rest of the weekend!
Can we get a moratorium on using Trump as a crutch in political speeches?
I’m already voting for Trump. Why should I vote for YOU?

There’s a very distinct difference between politics, activism, and rabble-rousing.
One is the brains, one is the muscle, and the other is a troublesome extra toe that people wish would go away.
