I am a Vietnam vet. His approval rating at my house doesn't exist either.

I know a lot of vets. And I know one that is on the fence. Just one! I’m not sure how you score that.

That is why he doesn’t care if their vote is counted.

Mark17. Thanks for your service. Joined the USN 1967. In fact, my dad was an O-6 Navy Captain and he swore me in. That was pretty cool.

I’m not sure who’s the least popular among the veterans I know, Obama or Paul Ryan.

Thank you for your service as well. With the Obungler in office, however, I have told my son not to go into the military. He agrees.

Yeah, sadly our oldest granddaughter is in the FL Nat Guard and has been for about 5 years. I guess she’s gonna stick it out though. Of course who knows if the mil will even have retirement benefits in another 10 or 15 years. She’s been to Iraq and is getting ready to go active to ghanistan this summer. Don’t like that but she knows what she want to do. Thankfully today’s vets (kids) get shown a slight bit more respect than we got. And now looks who’s runnin’ the show. :>} Unbelievable huh?

The last time we had a President as Lousy as this one was when Jimmy Carter was in office.During that time I was Serving in The Republic of Korea with the USAF.

I’ll tell you that when you have a President that is as weak as we have presently it scares the crap out of you.Espechially when you know there are a million plus crazy No.Koreans just waiting to kill you.

I was uncomfortable under Carter.I’d be scared to death under Obama.

Let me Salute the Guys and Gals serving and surviving under him.

I would like to see the ethnic and sexual preference breakdown of those who approve of Obama.
