Lefties Rewrite Everything

ANO, WP, TH

A couple days ago, I posted an item where the Leftinistra were trying to do away with the terms Global War On Terror and The Long War in the verbiage for the upcoming defense budget bill(s). Evidently, someone is trying to make them “see the light’, as it were. Good luck.

Rewriting History…Again!!! (and got caught)

A memo sent to Democratic staffers on the House Armed Services Committee instructed the aides not to use the specific phrases, the Military Times newspaper reported.

The memo is here in pdf format.

Erin Conaton, the committee’s staff director, sent out the 15-page memo titled “Style Guide for Defense Authorization Report.”

“When referencing military operations throughout the world, please be as specific as possible. Please avoid using colloquialisms such as, ‘the war on terrorism, or the ‘Long War’ Please do not use the term ‘global war on terrorism,’ ” according to the memo.

Late Wednesday afternoon, a source told FOX News that the panel had sent out a revised version making it clear that there was “no political intent behind” the wording.

Relly? There was no political intent? Then, what, pray tell, was the motivation? Political Correctness?

What a bunch of fruit loops!!
