Not one to ever question our brave men and women in uniform, just have to wonder how Osama gets even 23% of the vote when he essentially called them killers and murderers with that “air-raiding villages and killing civilians” remark.

[eaglestar]

Gosh,

The military favors McCain massively over Obama?

I am shocked.

Why wouldn’t they support a jr senator that championed defeat in Iraq, voted against funding the troops on the battle field, and by doing so encouraged the enemy to keep up the fight?

That is a big mystery. I wonder if the MSM can figure it out.

McCain should paint those votes Hussein brags so much about exactly the way you just did. Hope someones watching this. Makes a good 3AM ad.

Liberal propaganda and myths!

Blacks (11%-12% tops) were eclipsed by Hispanics (over 13%) in the USA years ago

Blacks in the military per “$70,000-Red” Rangel were killed more than whites - BS!

Blacks in combat risk MOS jobs are way under 11% - under 9% death rates - You know who takes point

- they select logistics, truck driver, clerical, office slots

In Korea they finally had to put them in front foxholes - and tell them not to turn aroound or run

Too many troops were overrun by ChiCom troops because of those who deserted and hid under fire

We had a Major who worked in real estate for us in Florida that had resigned his commission because the Army refused to Court Martial “runners”

You have been fed and swallowed the racist lies of Rangle, Ownes, Jackson, etc.

Rangle keeps pushing bring back the draft - then votes against his own bill!

He wants to keep the USA out of any military actions

They don’t call him “Red” Rangle for nothing!

At Jackson they were outta Basic in the first few weeks - after just one multiple choice test

Advanced Infantry (Cannon Fodder) school was “Whiteys” - (with a very low proportion of “others” - who insisted on enlisting and getting GEDs - they were good sharp tough guys)

Puerto Ricans (all were shorties at Jackson) - few who spoke English - went to Knox as Tankers (they FIT in tanks)

The job not to have was Forward Observer - Artillery - you lifespan was in seconds

There were lots of great Platoon Sarges and Company Commanders (Captains) that were black at Jackson - some from WWII

My husband participated in this poll and voted McCain. IMHO, the times did not like the result (of the current poll) and have re-polled him as of Friday (they asked the exact same questions again). Unfortunately, the Military Times has taken a turn for the worst in the last few years, and this election cycle their bias has become very obvious.

Look at this quote from the MT:

“The results of the Military Times 2008 Election Poll are not representative of the opinions of the military as a whole. The group surveyed is older, more senior in rank and less ethnically diverse than the overall armed services.”

That's not true, I know a lot of people who were polled for this and it ranged from E-4 to O-4 (all types of races)

Lol, that’s funny. Wonder who the little boy is who is in the gif and if he has seen it?

Obama wants young women to have to register for Selective Service too.

[RetiredArmy]

Hey, I agree. I have heard it from some black retirees I know. They are all hot that “the brother” may be president. No matter how this guy hates the US military, supports the terrorists, and how the military is going to be treated under an Obama Rule, they are still for the brother. It is a black thing. Nothing else. Hell, Obama could have a rap sheet three blocks long, including rape, murder and burning the flag, and this bunch will still vote for him. I just look at them with that, “I can't believe you assholes support this shit.” But, they do.

Ever heard a HS or college girl mention Obama wants to register them for Selective Service and require “some civilian or Peace Corps equivalent”?

He blabs so much the young idiot libs don’t know what they are in for!

Like 2 years in Kenya or the Sudan......

[jveritas]

Excellent observation.

Doubt if many young people are even aware of that.

The 60’s Yippies and SDS ran to Canada when democrat LBJ was President

And Bill Clinton ran to Oxford after lying to his Arkansas National Guard in letters

Barack Hussein Obama Junior never even wore a Cub Scout uniform

Yet he imagines he can be the American Putin or Chavez or Castro
Or Ayers......

[potlatch]

Yes, I know.

[Gamecock]

Because of my rank I want to be careful about who I discuss politics with, after all, I don't want to have the allegation made that I am wielding undue influence;

But I am pleasantly surprised at how many young Soldiers, both officer and enlisted, are spontaneously telling me they are for McCain.

[jude24]

Because of my rank I want to be careful about who I discuss politics with, after all, I don't want to have the allegation made that I am wielding undue influence;

If I'm asked by someone junior to me, I tell them, "Officers don't have political positions."

What officers talk about amongst themselves, though, is quite a different story.

[Allegra]

I'm a civilian working with the military (a joint command with all branches.) No matter what the rank, they're very candid with us civilians if we initiate the conversation (and even sometimes when we don't.)

It is a VERY PRO-McCain-Palin environment 'round here.

[xzins]

I was always open about what I thought, but I was always conservative, and conservative was always the best description of the military.

We had some interesting concerns and cautions regarding Clinton’s “don’t ask/tell” initiative and also about the incursion into Bosnia/Kosovo.
