Real men are not caring.
Real men are protectors.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: So President Obama was quick to claim that it cost U.S. taxpayers a billion dollars for every thousand soldiers sent to Afghanistan, remember this? And he has yet to mention how much it costs to send a soldier to Haiti. He has not even—in fact, it didn’t even matter to him. But it was a factor in sending soldiers to Afghanistan. That’s about U.S. national security. This is about domestic U.S. politics. Haiti is about U.S. domestic politics, in addition to the humanitarian effort that is behind this. Of course, we are not suggesting that we shouldn’t send soldiers to Haiti. Do not misunderstand. But why is there no concern about the cost from the White House, when there was so much concern about Afghanistan? After all, isn’t the job of the U.S. military first and foremost to protect the national security and interests of the United States? No, it’s not. The U.S. military is now Meals on Wheels. It always is with democrat presidents.
