Kudos to Blackfive
[Update: I’m posting another email from someone I trust that was on the flight line when the Senator arrived.]
This is from a USAF friend in Afghanistan:
Hello everyone,
As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to ‘ The War Zone ‘ . I wanted to share with you what happened.
He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram.
As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand, he blew them off and didn’t say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.
So really he was just here to make a showing for the Americans back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you.
I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States . I just don’t understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.
If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.
In service,
CPT J
Bagram, Afghanistan
[Note: There are some that are disputing the validity of this email. I am reasonably certain that it is legit. Further, while I have seen a few photos of Senator Obama visiting with troops at Camp Eggers in Kabul, I have not seen any DoD photos of the Senator at Bagram (with troops).]
[Note2: Received a similar email from a different source at the same location. Might post it later.]
Update: Below is a report from the PAO in Camp Eggers, Afghanistan, about the visit of Senator Barak Obama.
US Army Central Command Photo of Senator Obama meeting with troops at Camp Eggers, Afghanistan.
KABUL, Afghanistan – Camp Eggers service members enjoyed breakfast with a Congressional delegation including Senators Barack Obama, D-Ill., Jack Reed, D-R.I. and Chuck Hagel, R-Neb. during their visit, July 20, to Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan headquarters.
The visit was part of the delegation’s trip to American forces commands in central and eastern Afghanistan. In Kabul the delegation was briefed by Gen. David McKiernan, International Security Assistance Force commanding general, and Gen. Maj. Gen. Robert Cone, CSTC-A commanding general.
Throughout their stops at Bagram and Jalalabad Air Fields and in Kabul, the senators met with service members from their respective states.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Once an anti-Military scumbag, always an anti-Military scumbag. God, please keep Barry away from our White House!!!
July 24th, 2008 at 10:00 amAnd to all you brave souls overseas, don’t forget that the democrats stateside are going to do everything to keep your vote from counting.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:02 amI hate hussein as much as any of ya’ll but I’m thinking about calling bullshit on this one even though it DOES sound like something he’d do.
Reason 1. “bullet proof vehicle” Wowie zowie Batman! Where can we get one of those? If this guy writing the letter is a USAF Captain (O-3), don’t you think he would know WHAT type of transport the Senator got into? (Humvee, Buffalo, Bradley, ETC.)
Reason 2. Once again, this guy is supposed to be a college-educated officer. He doesn’t know how to spell Commander In Chief. Instead we get “Commander-and-Chief” isn’t that a Russell Crowe movie?
July 24th, 2008 at 10:19 amWow, what is he afraid of? Just some people who wanted to shake hands. People who are fighting to protect his right to fly around acting like the BMOC.

Ok, I just read all the latest comments over at Blackfive. The guy’s identity is out, the e-mail is real, he’s in the Army, not the Air Force. My mistake. Dude still needs to take a fucking remedial English class, though.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:39 amYou may be right, but knowing this guys views I do not doubt the sentiment of the email. Keep in mind, most people know others who are highly talented in their chosen fields but can’t write worth a damn.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:40 am“most people know others who are highly talented in their chosen fields but can’t write worth a damn.”
When I was in the construction field, the same could be said of the Mexican carpenters, plumbers, etc. working alongside me.
This is America. There’s no excuse to not have a good command of English, be it spoken or written. Laziness isn’t an option.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:56 amI agree wholeheartedly with you. The problem lies with the education system. If it stays the same as it is now, there will always be those with less than adequate command of their spoken and written native tongue.
July 24th, 2008 at 11:03 amWisdom does not have to be in perfect english.
July 24th, 2008 at 11:18 amI wouldn’t doubt the validity of this statement, give Obama’s past.
That being said, I think I’d enjoy the company of the Cowboys’ cheerleaders–though I’m a Packers fan–more than any politician.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:19 pmShame! (I hate to sound like a lefty) Shame on Obama!
(I went to public school and I’m barely literate myself-like most Americans. What counts to me is communication and what matters here is the honor of our outstanding troops.)
I’d prefere a cheerleader to that fuckstick any day.
God Bless The Troops and all who served.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:20 pmGod save us from Obama.

July 24th, 2008 at 4:38 pmCapt J said - “It was almost that he (BHO) was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.”
________________________________________
He was Captain, because he’s a pussy and I’m pretty sure even he knows it.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:48 pmTo denegrate the commenter as illeterate because he used commander and chief is pretty unintelligent. Have you considered that that sentence was a political statement?
July 24th, 2008 at 8:03 pmBefore I even read your shallow interpretation of the Captain I understood his use of the phrase commander and chief. Would you like me to explain what he meant by that spelling?
Unbreakable also questions bullet-proof vehicle. Umm, I thinks it’s pretty clear he didn’t want to travel in an armored up Hummvee or the new APC’s, he was requesting a “ride” commensurate with his station ie; an armored up civilian SUV. What is Unbreakable talking about, no such thing as bullet proof vehicles? That is all we produce these days, and it is all we have been producing since the Honorable General Omar Bradley fighting vehicle has been introduced.
Call B.S. if you want but your the one nano-analyzing comments.
haha unbreakable, I bet that message took a long time to write since you had to write it as poorly as possible. Ha ha freaking ha
July 24th, 2008 at 8:37 pmOK, looks like you need to go back to English class as well and learn the difference between your and you’re.
Also, “That is all we produce these days, and it is all we have been producing” Well there Sonny Jim, didn’t know you had the inside scoop on the whole U.S. defense industry as it relates to armored fighting vehicles. But I think your statement is more than a little fucking wrong. We produce more than Bradleys (Stryker for example).
” I understood his use of the phrase commander and chief. Would you like me to explain what he meant by that spelling”
So, you speak moron too? Then explain this: The Constitution of the United States gives the title to the President of the United States, who “shall be Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States”
Finally, I already admitted I was wrong about the gentleman’s identity and the validity of the e-mail. Douchebag.
July 25th, 2008 at 6:14 amI’ll take the commander at his word. Same for the rest of the military who post on Black Five. I don’t care about spelling. He made a great point.
He probably mispelled his comments because he was pissed while writing them. So fucking what.
