I'd be willing to wager that a West Point graduate, military fellow at Harvard and the CFR who has served and lived all over the world is plenty aware of the "bigger picture", at least as much as someone's whose actual foreign policy experience is limited to one term in the US Senate.
Obama only deals with Afghanistan when he is pushed and shamed. Same with the campaign, he made his first visit only after being shamed about never being there. This man is no war President.
THIS COUNTRY EXISTS BECAUSE OF THE MILITARY. Next time your in public and you see someone in uniform, just say" thank you".
Obama, had he had the chance, undoubtedly , would have spat upon the Vietnam vets when they returned home ... Is that military experience?
Moron, the military is financed on the backs of civilian population (i.e "us"). You want to live in a military dictatorship by all means do it, I cherish the supremacy of civilian rule.
" the supremacy of civilian rule" ... thank you, I've come closer to understanding why I frequent this site. The pure comedy of it all.
I said nothing of a military dictatorship, your post exposes your naivety, a strong military is essential. Go hold hands, stick some flowers in your hair, give us all a big group hug- don't worry, there will be some young man or woman, bravely standing a post, holding their weapon, defending your right to be a jerk wither you appreciate it or not. You just went on my ignore list.
Whats wrong FloydLandis82? Are you embarrassed that after all Obama's BS Chicago still came in LAST PLACE? Second of all, last time I checked your average posts per day was higher than my posts per day. Now we know who has no life. BTW, are you still losing money with Elliot Wave?
In other words you favor Obama's approval ratings more than the future security of the country. Thats all you had to say.
