Three guesses on whom the Pentagon is sponsoring an ESSAY contest?
If you answered Chris Kyle, then you don’t realize that you live in Obama’s Amerika.
The Pentagon has decided that the later Saudi King Abdullah deserves a tribute. At least we know why Obama has maintained some military budget!
Obama administration officials have been effusive in their praise for late Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz who died last week at the age of 90. Now comes word that chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin E. Dempsey is establishing a “research and essay competition” at the US military’s National Defense University to honor the long-time U.S. ally
.
According to the Weekly Standard,
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has established a research and essay competition in honor of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz hosted by the National Defense University….
Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey said the essay competition is a fitting tribute to the life and leadership of the Saudi Arabian monarch…
“This is an important opportunity to honor the memory of the king, while also fostering scholarly research on the Arab-Muslim world, and I can think of no better home for such an initiative than NDU,” Dempsey said in a statement announcing the competition.
The competition will focus on issues related to the Arab-Muslim world and is designed to encourage strategic thinking and meaningful research on a crucial part of the world. The program will be in place at NDU for the next academic year, officials said.
