What an Example Means on the Battlefied Posted by Patrick Barry

Setting an example back home by sticking to our best principles, enshrined in our constitution may seem like a nice-sounding rhetorical point.  But it's worth remembering that our example, good or bad, has very serious repercussions for our men and women in uniform.  There is clear evidence that practices like torture and symbols like black sites and Guantanamo Bay are a huge boon for terrorist recruiters.  So when the President re-commits the country to a higher standard, he's undercutting extremists who target Americans in places like Helmand and Kandahar.
