Funny, I thought we had a VOLUNTEER army. Or did a judge offer you the option of jail time or military time for some crime you committed?

I don't believe he mentioned that he was in the United State Military, or even on their side.

Wow....You must be kidding, right?

You want to complain about that?

Does anyone here know how many military bases we have world wide? Does anyone know how much we spend a year on the military?
Do you morons know how many men and women are stationed away from home?

Did you know that we still have a base in Germany?

Get your shit straight.

Do you know that medicare costs more than all the military.. and as of 2008 it takes in less than it pays out? It's a failed underfunded program at this point... let us know how you feel when they have to let your grandparents die and your wife is waiting a year for an operation...

Oh, by the way, it will be Obama who attacks Iran. Or maybe the idiot will surprise us and attack Israel instead.

Just so you know, 75% of the men and women who are stationed over seas support Obama. I didnt sign up to go to Iraq. That was not by choice.

Do you have any kind of evidence for this statement? Surely you do not claim to know what every single military person stationed overseas is thinking. I know a lot of military people and that is not the figure I would put it at, in my experience the people in the military in general fall along the lines politically of the civilian population, that is, it is about 50-50 democrat vs republican.

And thats only an article. I never meet anyone where I was stationed besides the higher ups (pricks) that supported the republicans

But you did sign up for the military and that was your choice wasn't it?

75%? Although as things drag on I have no doubt BO's support is gradually growing among service personnel. Somehow I doubt it's reached 75% yet. The kind of dopes that would normally support someone like BO don't, as a general rule, go into the military to begin with.

Exactly, when he volunteered for military service. He volunteered to go anywhere the commander in chief sends him.
Doesn't matter whether he agrees with or likes it or not.
If he doesn't like the idea of going to war, he should have never VOLUNTEERED for the military in the first place.

Lucrum, almost all of my unit stated that they would vote for Obama.

A lot of soldiers resent the extension of deployment for no real reason that Bush put upon them. They got sent to Iraq on a scam, then they were unequipped, then their tours got extended.

Decorated combat soldiers refused to redeploy!

Believe me, he was NOT a popular boss by the end. And many soldiers saw McCain as a good choice, but felt fairly sure that Palin would get them killed if she became President.

McCain may have carried the day in the armed forces but for his choice of VP.

Quote from pspr:

If you think the people who voted for Obama won't notice their health care premiums being taxed or their energy prices doubling, you are the one sadly mistaken and delusional.

I also predect we will need to go back into Iraq after Al Queda moves back in when we leave. That will expose Obozo for the moron that he is.

The democrats aren't going to take responsibility for health care being ruined or energy costs skyrocketing any more than Barney Frank took responsibility for FNM/FRE going bankrupt and costing us trillions. They will blame the evil oil companies and greedy doctors and hospitals. They will blame Bush. They will blame republicans in congress who voted against this stuff. And the media will support them or not call them out on it.

Anyone who thinks differently is sadly delusional. The average voter has about as much critical reasoning ability and ability to link cause and effect as a gerbil. How else did we elect an unqualified radical socialist?

Exactly, and by 2008 there were very few enlistments that were signed before the Iraq War so the argument is pretty bunk.
