The term you are looking for is
This story is true.
I agree.
I am disgusted with this use of our military members. Identical cameras. Good heavens.
I’m a spouse, didn’t vote for Obama.
I don’t know, for sure, whom my husband voted for. He does not talk about his voting, nor does he attend political gatherings or rallies. After 20 years of marriage I could make a pretty good guess, if pressed. He has defended my (and your) right to do so for the last 26 years, and God willing, will do so for another year or so before retiring.
When our son put campaign bumper stickers on his car, we made him scrape the military identification stickers off the car. Since we do not live on base this was not a problem. If we lived on base, he would not have been allowed to have them on the car, no matter whom they supported. (The stickers were ‘Nope’ and some other anti-Obama thing.) We are really mean that way.
I think that minorities are much more likely to have voted for Obama. I think it would be cool to have a black president if it weren’t him. Others who voted for him may have been disgusted with some of the Bush administration’s policies, or specific administrative persons in the initial years of the present war, or did not care for McCain as he had not been a great friend to the military as a Senator. Although his heroism as a service member himself is widely respected. There was a whole lot more support for McCain as far as I could see, in the military community.
I am crazy about Sarah Palin. I can’t wait to see what she does next, although after the mill she has been put through - if I were her I might decide to stay at home next go ‘round.
Clinton was nearly universally despised during his years, again, as far as I could tell. I think Obama might actually be worse, and worse for morale. The parallel someone mentioned with the USS Cole precipitating 9/11, and Obama’s present behavior gives me the creeps. And let’s not forget ‘Blackhawk Down’.
I was so glad to read about the rescue a little bit ago of the ship captain.
Sorry, my point with the bumper sticker thing, is that they shouldn’t have been asking whom they voted for in the first place. At all. That is just wrong.
Bush never did in fact he would meet with people who opposed him. But didn’t make it a national headline. A good friend’s son is over there and was a strong Kerry backer and Bush met with him and some other Kerry voters.
I know 50 people who are serving now or have served in Iraq or Afghanistan. (volunteer here for various things). 38 voted for McCain, 4 for Obama and 8 Independent.
Your 4th photo must be a fake, we know from Zero’s event, digital cameras only come in silver.
I agree. NOBODY should be asking members of the military who they voted for! That's just wrong!
That is more what I have heard. I know more people who voted for other parties than voted for Obama. And of the people I have actually discussed politics with who are military (much less than you are numbering) , as would be expected, the military is overwhelmingly conservative and voted for McCain. Female officers might tend to be more liberal, in my personal experience (which is little).
The ones who were more ‘against’ McCain (not conservative enough, etc.) tended to lean toward Ron Paul/Libertarian or Constitution party candidates. I was just citing reasons I thought people might vote for Obama.
I was looking to see if you were on this thread. I’d know that if you verified it, it was true.
(Did they get to keep those cameras?)

LOL - I'm not sure. Probably - money from the "stimulus" package, ya know. I just got back last night, but it seemed to be the first thing everyone wanted to tell me about - how the whole thing was staged.
I was disgusted, but not at all surprised.
Digg per Mamzelle!

Told ya. (well, not you, STARWISE)
This sounds as bad as his mama having to hang a pork chop around his neck to get the dog to play with him.
By all rights,they should have been rounded up and given their discharge papers.
I wonder how many they had to go through to find a crowd of that size...200, 2000, 20,000, 200,000 or 2,000,000.
