A leader you can TRUST...

| NOTE: While VoteVets did not officially endorse a candidate for president in 2008, the group did publicly support Barack Obama's plan for Iraq and actively opposed John McCain's campaign for President, despite McCain being an honored war veteran. The group, which supported mostly Democrat military veterans candidates in the 2006 Congressional campaign, are apparently very under-whelmed by Obama's persuasive abilities. |
This used to be unheard of in our military, but a lot of people became disgruntled with the silly Rules of Engagement Bush forced upon us, the stop-losses, and the 15 month deployments (another horrible idea under Bush). The only thing we want is to go in and whoop @$$ and then get out. Fighting decade long wars and fighting fair with an unfair opponent is immoral and shows a clear lack of leadership beginning with Bush and made even worse by Obama.

Somehow, the word “progressive” and “Military” just don’t sound right.
The continued effect of Obama’s economic policies will be to increase the volume of recruits.
It's the Russian Model.
Well, let them sit and twirl. Woo.
I'm thinking some adult supervision might help. Perhaps not. Shut up and fall in line. Just damn. Pray for our troops.

Lame duck military strategy
Now the World knows our leader has turned tail in the face of the enemy.
Tomorrow Afghan civs will start turning against US.
I’m not understanding many peoples logic on things political these days. Some folks I know are complaining about the corruption in DC. Then completly doing a one-eighty and stating that democrats are still better than the republicans. I can only give the blank stare, speachless.
I’ve never heard of this bunch,,,
I’ll say this :
My house-mate is a Blue Star Mom,,,
Her son is back in Iraq now for his 3rd.tour,,,
2nd.BCT.10th.Mtn.Div,,,18th.Airborne Corps,,,
His last tour was 18 Months,,,Not the 15 mo. LIE !!!,,,
TANKS,Arbusto!!!,,,
They were told his unit was taken off the rotation list,,,
Another LIE!!!,,,
TANKS,O’Bammy!!!,,,
He is back in B-Dad now for another year so they say,,,
Stuck with the same ROE as A-Stan,,,
We are doing our best to get him to quit when this hitch is
up...
SIERRA SQUARED, DELTA SQUARED
Only things have changed is the calendar and the faces telling the lies.
(....although even at their absolute puke-inducing all time low, LBJ and his bunch couldn’t hold The O’s jock strap at screwing over the troops. Or, for that matter, everybody else in the area.)
Just tell “your” trooper to stay safe and we’ll all pray for him. Got a feeling that the reenlistment debate for a whole bunch of ‘em is already been decided, but they just don’t want to go back to the sandbox with a Short-Timer’s attitude.
Climb to Glory!

Sounds like the vets got what they wished for.
“Jon Soltz, Iraq war veteran and Chairman of VoteVets.org said, “We have been supportive of every move the President has made since he was elected, “
There’s the problem.
I am a vet and I support Obama’s decision to finish the war and get our boys home.

Obama never mentioned the word Victory once in the speech. Announcing 30,000 troops and then in the next breath saying in 18 months we leave is a clear message to the Taliban to lay low, it will be yours soon, and it passifies the radical left as well, all is lost ... I would not serve under this man, I would not let my life be wasted for him and him alone.
See my post just above this, are you crazy, Obama isn’t going to finish anything
(another horrible idea under Bush)
Yeah, its all Bush’s fault. You know it doesn’t matter if the terrorists fight unfair. We have vastly superior technology, quality and training. It should not matter.
You “boys” should not have signed up for the military if you want so much to be home with momma. Try reading military history to see hardship for the troops (and understand we still have troops in Japan, Korea, Balkans, Germany, etc.). Also try and find a winning military leader like obama; you never will.
