Homeland Security Secretary Refers to Border Agents as “Comrades”
Is Janet Napolitano Sending A Subliminal Message?
I am miffed. As a prior Sergeant in the U.S. Army and a natural born Citizen, I am appalled at the use of a specific term which is being used by the White House and its lackies. The word is “comrade.”
I was watching Fox News a few days ago and the DHS Secretary, Janet Napolitano, just used the term “comrade” to describe a fallen Border Security Agent. Those of us who served in the military in the late 20th century associated that term to Communist or Socialist regimes whereby it was used to describe their cohorts. We never used that term in the U.S. Army, nor have I ever heard anyone high up in our government use that term until this administration. If I am wrong, please correct me but do not call me a comrade. To me, that implies either the person is a Nazi, Russian, Chinese, North Korean or other Communist association or nation.
Here is one definition of “comrade”: a member of the Communist party or someone with strongly leftist views.
And now… the rest of the story. …..
