Mr. Obama wants to close gitmo - a huge mistake. If he does such a thing without going to Gitmo and visiting the prison facilities himself, he will act in a careless and dangerously uninformed way.
My youngest son loves the idea of serving and really wants an ROTC scholarship. I’m not thrilled with the prospect of him serving under the obomination, and I don’t think he is as excited anymore. I think the volunteer military is really going to suffer over the next 4 years. I’m worried.
I worry that the same Marxist candidate who chose to visit a gymnasium rather than our wounded troops in a European hospital (and his close friend, a terrorist who bombed the pentagon) will do what they can to undermine our military.
I'm also concerned that the closing of the prison at Guantanamo could be a mere preliminary, and superficial effect of the anti American Military operations to come.
Hopefully I'm wrong here.

Keeping Gates on as Sec Def was just a smokescreen to conceal things to come as far as Hussein’s real agenda, as well as a sure signal that Hussein simply needs him there, needs things to stay in place in that realm for the time being, because Hussein has not a shred of a microscopic clue at all how to handle military affairs and worldwide conflicts as they are now.
Deep in his anti-American heart, Hussein would love to be able to put Jeanine Garafalo or Bill Ayers himself or Jay-Z or Ellen Degenerate or Kanye West or Cornel West or Cynthia McKinney or Cindy Sheehan or Bono or Bozo the Clown in charge of DoD, anyone but a pro-American hawk and preferably some trans-gender Islamofriendly communist, but he has to wait until things go completely sideways again for us in the Middle East or whatever once he’s firmly past the transition period and he can scuttle Gates and replace him with Mumia Abu Jamal or Rosie O’Dogshit.
I know over 1,000 vets and their spouses in two vet organizations. Every one loathes The One.
Time for me to get flamed. I just watched the video attached to your post and was disturbed by what I saw.
These young Marines may not like Sen Obama, but they need to respect the office he holds. They should be on their feet when they are talking to a United States Senetor. It doesn’t matter what their feelings are for the man, they still must uphold the customs and courtesies of our beloved Corps. That being said I’m pretty sure there was a SgtMaj present who corrected this at the appropriate time.
Let the flaming begin!!
