Also iffy.

“Would you want to be in Barak Obama’s army?”
My son, 9, wants to be in the Air Force. If he still does when he turns 18, and the country is still controlled by the leftists, I’m going to have to ask him some hard questions like, “Would you obey an order to fire on American citizens protesting?” Stuff like that. Our soldiers will eventually be put into morally untenable positions unless our citizenry figures out they have made a terrible mistake.
Also iffy.
Until their enlistment is up - which they will then vote with their feet. Expect massive movement out of the ranks in the next four years.
Yo! Separated at birth...
I witnessed what the Clinton years did to the Army. It really does hurt morale, when you know the CIC has no respect for you whatsoever.
We got through it, though.
Obama? Well, If I were still in the Army, I would want to KNOW he was legitimately qualified to be president (I’m talking about the birth certificate here).
Exactly: we will wait a year and see how many re-up.
I know more than one wounded warrior who were purposely dragging out their med-boards until after the election.
While there was no real enthusiasm for MeInsane, they would opt to stay in. Now they are fighting to get out. Sad!
“They will need to respect and obey him accordingly...”
When LBJ landed in EL Toro MCAS during Tet to give a speech, he was loudly booed by the Marines there.
Maybe you didn't get the memo. You gotta remember that the Constitution is a deeply flawed document because the Founders had a "blind spot" that prevented them from seeing "positive rights" (i.e. what the government MUST do for you), as opposed to "negative rights" (i.e. what the government can't do TO you).
Thus, it is our patriotic duty to correct the Founders' error, and break the constraints that are in the Constitution. This may be news to you, as it was to me, but hey, Obama himself has said so, and he's a Constitutional scholar!
Besides, it's a living document anyway, which means it has to be interpreted in light of modern sensibilities, not to mention foreign law.
So the way I see it, it means pretty much whatever anybody says it means. So if the troops don't like Obama, they can just tell him to go screw. That is, unless you're against the Constitution.
To all the black service men out there:
I hope you like your new bunk mate Biff! Better not plan a blanket party, cause that would be a hate crime.
Wonder how long it will be before we start hearing the “D” word? DRAFT.
When he landed in Hawaii to meet with the Vietnamese leader those of us detailed to meet the airplane (officers and EM's) were NOT allowed to wear our AF uniforms but had to dress in civies. The Dumbocrats have along standing hatred for the Military as they see them as the only real obstacle to their grab of total power.
It doesn’t mean they have to like it. Imagine 60% of our battle hardened military voting with their feet at the end of their enlistments. That gets us the Army of the 70’s all over again.
Last MSM report I read before the election was that the chosen one had “overwhelming support” fom the military.
“They Know There’s Something Wrong—Obama Visits Marines; Met With Silence”

That has been my prediction as well. And I also feel he would send our troops in to Africa. Can you imagine, with John Effin now in charge of pirate control, how these clowns could have our troops in Somalia?
I have two nephews in the Marines, one was home at Christmas after completing boot camp. He is none too confident about the new CIC.
Is that Powell wearing a safety helmet backwards? The 'hood comin' to the White.. Uh, Brown House.
Is that his salute?? Or dear God, that man is going to be the LEADER of the military? And he can’t even manage to salute properly?
And on a day when China declares that we are drowning and Russia is rising.
I will say this about Obama’s visit. He’s not yet the president. That said I think the troops will stand after he’s president but will not cheer. Or, they will hand pick troops that WILL cheer if he does this again.
