Thank you. It was my privilege to serve this great Country for 11 years, even in my very small aviation Navy role. Bless our grunts.

You couldn't be more right. Even with Newt's baggage, he is a leader and produces results. He is one of the few politicians that talks the talk, and walks the walk. Didn't know our military is supporting him. Got stats?

BTW, Romney whines that Newt is a DC insider? I say good, because he is one of the few insiders who has the experience, the hardened fortitude, and the wisdom of history behind him, not to mention his solid beliefs in our system.

Newt knows what has gone wrong with this nation and is trying to let all know what is killing this wonderful experiment the Founding Fathers devised. Newt is trying to remind us that we ARE the, "shining city on the hill", like Reagan said.

WE NEED ONLY TO REDISCOVER OUR ROOTS OF THIS NATION, that changed the world for the better, and Newt believes that within his heart! Since 1787, our Constitutional principles have been the guiding light for all oppressed peoples throughout the world. Simple fact of history. No one ever talks about that (other than Newt) and how many nations have used our example to develop their own system of "government by the people".

If Newt does not get the nomination, then I think all is loss. Congress has given up their balance of power to the Executive branch and we will see the worse of bambi, or even Romney. I can foresee Mittens actually vetoing Congressional bills that downsize fedgov intrusion.

I work near a large military training site that trains on a rotating basis over 50,000 troops a year. I see a lot of military, and know the assigned staff well. The Commander told me recently that they can’t even have a decent argument over at their headquarters anymore because they are all supporting Newt!

My grandson says if Newt is elected he will take the offer he has from the Navy. He has thus far turned down offers from them and the Air Force because he does not want to serve under Obama. He is currently studying to be a nuclear engineer. His dad was a Navy man and still works as a nuclear electrician.

My new son-in-law, also a Navy man is an enthusiastic Newt supporter, as well.
