There goes the career military force and all that experience. This is one of the stupidest proposals I have ever heard.

At least we know why they want to transform the military.

They want it to vote democrat, not Republican.

“The military is peopled by folks who, if they were less honorable, could have stayed home and made more money on public assistance.”

I know many police cadets, personally. Many are young men who recently finished tours in Iraq and A’stan.

NONE are the sons of wealthy businessmen. These guys are hard working, committed and HONEST... to a man.

They served voluntarily when it was neither profitable NOR safe to do so. They served in wartime when they were under NO compunction to do so or any censure if they did not.

Short change THEM?? How shabby, to even think of it.

I like it. The Progressives pissing off more people with guns and the tactical knowledge to use them. The Dims have spent 60 years ripping up the Constitution, in the expectation that the Armed Population would NEVER strike back.

Please continue. There will never be retribution...

And, to all the LEOs out there, the Sheriff of Nottingham also figured his thugs would always be able to control things...

Face it, Obama hates the military. Not long ago, he said that soldiers with combat injuries leaving the military should not get care from the VA, but instead go find a job and have the employer’s health insurance take care of it.
There are liberals here in Minnesota who think that anyone with a military background should not be permitted to participate in the political process (unless on is a traitor like Kerry or Murtha).
