The American public has more confidence in the military than in any other institution, according to a Gallup poll ...

Seventy-four percent of those surveyed in Gallup's 2005 confidence poll said they have "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in the military - more than in a full range of other government, religious, economic, medical, business and news organizations.

This year's 74 percent confidence level exceeded that of all 15 institutions included in the 2005 survey.

Police ranked second, with 63 percent of responders expressing "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in them.

Organized religion rated third, with 53 percent of responders expressing high confidence, and banks rated a 49 percent high-confidence rate.

The Gallup organization noted that public trust in television news and newspapers reached an all-time low this year, with 28 percent of responders expressing high confidence in them.

I wonder how long Gallup has been including the military in the answer options.

Kudos to: the CIC, the SecDef, and all those who serve. I'll even throw in a handclap or two for Congress, for funding military ops adequately.

We get similar figures here in Australia. It makes our lefties a sad panda...

[Species8472]

Take that John Kerry!

POS

(and I'm trying to be polite)

[King Prout]

[King Prout]

I second the motion

[King Prout]

what is "a sad panda"?

[Dundee]

South Park reference. Look up 'Sexual Harassment Panda'.

Imagine if the military were allowed to do its job and fight without having to worry about offending the sensibilities of the people it was fighting!

[Personal Responsibility]

but between the libs and the Rinos most of the noise you hear from congress is from the left.

That is not quite accurate. Most of what you hear reported is from the left because the MSM is on the left.

[BlessedBeGod]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL, I bet it's galling to the liberals!

[expatpat]

Oh, boy, that will pi$$ off the anti-war nuts! Good. Good. Good.

And now a word from our real Sponsors of Free Speech

The Men and Women who serve,
and have served, our country
are the ones who make sure that
the Politicans and Judges are free to do their job.

We would not have a US Supreme Court
without the protection of the Military.

Politicans and Judges are safe
because of the Military who protect them.

TEST : Call your Senator or Congressman's office
AFTER 5 PM, or on the weekend.
IF you speak to an actual person, ask who's in charge today?

Now look up the phone number
of your local military base.
Call that number 24/7
and ask the live voice you get
to speak with the person in charge.

Send a Thank You while you enjoy your Freedom also.
