if they were dumb enough to vote for Obama then they will probably enjoy it, for a little while.
Well but remember that Obama wants to start a domestic national police with the same weapons and powers our military has.
Sorry I was speaking in general...not to you directly. WE know better.
Will they be wearing that snazzy brown shirts with those cool belts that go over the shoulder?
Very possible. They will be armed and use “no knock” to visit people they do not find acceptable.
I didn't catch this paragraph earlier:
“WOODRUFF: Senator Obama, one of the, of course, enormous consequences of 9/11 were the wars in Afghanistan and then Iraq. In the wake of those wars, today, the United States military is facing enormous challenges. Junior officers are leaving the Army in record numbers. The recent graduates of West Point leaving the Army.
What would you do as president to make serving and staying in the military more attractive to young men and women?
OBAMA: Well, first of all, as commander-in-chief, my job is to keep America safe. And that means insuring that we’ve got the best military on Earth. And that means having the best persons in uniform on Earth. We have that right now, but as a consequence of these wars, they have been strained incredibly. I think it’s important for us to increase the size of our Army and our Marines so we can reduce the pace of tours that our young men and women are on...
But it’s also important that a president speaks to military service as an obligation not just of some, but of many. You know, I traveled, obviously, a lot over the last 19 months. And if you go to small towns, throughout the Midwest or the Southwest or the South, every town has tons of young people who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s not always the case in other parts of the country, in more urban centers. And I think it’s important for the president to say, this is an important obligation. If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some...
And by the way, we will deploy you in some difficult areas, but that’s part of what it means to be an American and to serve and to sacrifice...
And so, I think a president who is consistently asking for young people to reach for something higher, something bigger than themselves, I think, will get enormous response.”

I heard some of Rush and am listening to Hannity right now and neither mentioned this at all. Hannity is talking about Biden’s so called gaffe, but is still singing the same tune everyone is singing about this. I didn’t notice anything at Drudge either.
I don’t know, this seems like something really big.
I don’t get it. No one is mentioning this anywhere. I feel that his little college aged minions will run from him faster than Jesse Owens once they find out he is planning to put them all in the armed forces, which they so despise.
