Ads Deserve Voters’ Attention

My friends at SpecialOperationsSpeaks.com ran two advertisements in The Washington Times this week. Both deserve the attention of every American voter.

The first ad (above) features the names of more than 500 flag officers (i.e., retired admirals and generals) who endorsed Mitt Romney’s campaign for president and ran early this week. The second ad (below) ran today in a 40-story special section of the newspaper and calls for an investigation of potential high crimes and misdemeanors related to “BenghaziGate,” the tragic and preventable series of events that took place Sept. 11, 2012, and resulted in the deaths of four Americans at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Please download and share both ASAP!

FYI: The folks at Special Operations Speaks endorsed my book, “Three Days In August,” which chronicles the life and wrongful conviction of former Army Green Beret Sgt. 1st Class Kelly A. Stewart. To learn more about it, read this post on the SOS Noble Warriors webpage.

Bob McCarty is the author of “Three Days In August: A U.S. Army Special Forces Soldier’s Fight For Military Justice,” a nonfiction book that’s available in paperback and ebook via most online booksellers, including Amazon.com. His second book, “The CLAPPER MEMO,” is set for release this fall.

Facebook Censors Special Operations Veterans

Mark Zuckerberg‘s social networking gurus at Facebook seem to think the men and women of Special Operations Speaks, who’ve spent much of their lives fighting on behalf of their fellow Americans do not deserve the freedom to exercise the rights guaranteed them under the First Amendment — at least, not when that exercise involves criticizing President Barack Obama days before an election about his mishandling of and lying about Sept. 11 events in Benghazi, Libya.

On Saturday, a Benghazi-focused meme (above) was posted on the organization’s website by Political Media Inc. President Larry Ward, the man who handles SOS social media and publicity efforts.  It’s message:  “Obama called the SEALs and they got Bin Laden.  When the SEALs called Obama, they got denied.”

Twenty-four hours later, Ward was informed by Facebook monitors that he had violated Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities with the meme.  As a result, the SOS account was suspended for 24 hours.  At last check, the meme is back up on the SOS Facebook page.

Before the election next Tuesday, please consider donating to Special Operations Speaks and spread the word about how Obama denied assistance to people on the ground, including one U.S. ambassador and two former Navy SEALs, in Benghazi.

FYI:  I applaud the guys at Special Operations Speaks for taking a courageous stand on this issue and also for endorsing my book, “Three Days In August,” which chronicles the life and wrongful conviction of former Army Green Beret Sgt. 1st Class Kelly A. Stewart.  To learn more about the book, read this post on the SOS Noble Warriors webpage.

‘Three Days In August’ Reader Making Rounds With New Book, ‘LEADING FROM BEHIND’

Six months after he heaped so much praise on my book, “Three Days In August,” Richard Miniter is getting a lot of praise for his just-released book, “Leading From Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide For Him.”

In February, the award-winning investigative journalist and best-selling author, read “Three Days In August,” the book in which I chronicled the life story and wrongful conviction of Army Green Beret Sgt. 1st Class Kelly A. Stewart, and shot back with the much-appreciated words below:

“Well-written and thoroughly researched, Three Days In August paints a convincing portrait of a military justice process that appears to have lacked one essential element – justice.”

In conjunction with his book’s official release Tuesday, Richard is making the rounds to talk about it’s details.  According to his website, it is the first to explore President Barack Obama’s abilities as a leader, by unearthing new details of his biggest successes and failures. So far, the reviews and media attention appear positive.

I look forward to reading Richard’s book and recommend you order a copy, too.  And, while you’re at it, order a copy of “Three Days In August,” the book Richard liked so much.

“Three Days In August” is available in paperback and ebook via most online booksellers, including Amazon.com.  In addition, my second nonfiction book, “The CLAPPER MEMO,” is set for release this fall.  Please check it out, too!

Special Operations Vets Jump Into Presidential Politics

I received an important email forwarded to me today by retired Air Force Chief Master Sgt. John Stewart, a friend of mine who lives in Beverly Hills, Fla. It appears that the chief and his fellow members of the Special Operations community are getting into politics in 2012.

The email message, originated by Dick Brauer, describes the establishment of a new organization, “Special Operations Speaks,” to combat what he describes as “a government that has gone rogue.”

Please read more about it at BobMcCarty.com.

FYI: Chief Stewart is the father of Army Green Beret Sgt. 1st Class Kelly A. Stewart whose life and wrongful conviction are chronicled in my book, “Three Days In August: A U.S. Army Special Forces Soldier’s Fight For Military Justice.” I know he would appreciate it if you would join him in the fight to clear his son’s name.
