[ ÚJ BEJEGYZÉS ]

Ez csak egy infó, amihez azért nem szabad hozzászólni, mert politikai vitát szítana. Nem politizálni akarok, de nem árt, ha odaát is hallotok ilyent IS.

Csak kicsit fordítom le, mert nincs sok időm (de kivastagítom a magyart) ..aki el tudja olvasni, az elolvassa, aki nem, az nem.

Ez egy 95 éves II. világháborús veterán véleménye, pontosabban levele president Obamához.

Ez az alázatos ember ezelőtt soha nem politizált, azt írják róla a sajtóban. Ezt a levelet is úgy diktálta, majd aláírta.

Dear President Obama,
Kedves Obama Elnök Úr,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year.
Harold Estesnek hívnak, 95 éves leszek ezév december 13-án.
People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert. Akik most találkoznak velem először, nem hiszik el, hogy hány éves vagyok, mert nincsenek ráncaim és értelmileg is eléggé éber vagyok.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor, allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.

So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.

I can't figure out what country you are the president of.
Nem tudom eldönteni, hogy melyik országnak vagy az elnöke?
You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
Körberepülöd a világot és ilyen megvetendő hazugságokat mondasz a barátainknak és az ellenségeinknek, mint ezek itt:

" We're no longer a Christian nation"
"Mi már nem vagyunk többé keresztény nemzet."
" America is arrogant" - (Your wife even announced to the world, "America is mean- spirited. "
"Amerika arrogáns." (A feleséged azt is állította, hogy " Amerika aljas")

Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)
Légyszíves mondd meg neki, hogy próbáljon meg annak a 23 generációnak prédikálni (saját megjegyzésem, hogy ez egy kis túlzás volt, mert max 17 generációnak..de ez nem változtat a lényegen) aki a háborúban hunyt el szerte a világon, akik nem egyébért áldozták az életüket, mint, hogy idegeneket tegyenek szabaddá a zsarnokságból és reménytelenségből.
I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don't think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you.
Azt mondanám, mindketten szégyellhetitek magatokat, mert nem gondolom, hogy ti szeretitek Amerikát, és egy cseppnyi jóérzést, vagy Amerika iránti hálát nem látok semmiben, amit csináltok, --azért az egyértelmű ajándékért, amit ez az ország adott nektek.
OK, bocs most nincs több időm a fordításra, majd talán később...

To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her ideals."

Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.

I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.

Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.

Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.

And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts, who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.

One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.

You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.
And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.

Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes
