Of course the truth is Obama gets zero support from our troops. Just ask them, I have.

Wrong! Quit pulling statistics out of your ass. Do you think we're all that dumb? Do you think for one moment that all military people share the same political view? Time to go outside and meet some people who aren't breathing the same stale air you are.

March over to Ron Paul - I GUARANTEE he'll come out to meet with you!

Of course. The "pro-vet" McCain who voted against benefits for vets also refuses to hear what returning vets from Iraq want to say to him. How sad. McCain shouldn't keep talking about being a POW if he keeps treating vets this way. This is why the serving men and women have donated to Obama 6-1 over McSame. NO vets should be treated this way!

i think those assholes who think america is the land of cowboys, and its all kicking ass abd being bad ass, are just idiots, your country is being used to make war, and they are using americans for their low kniowledge of history and mainly just facts, you are serving people that dont believe in usa, or land of dreams or whatver that means, rich dont have countrys or obey laws, they will use any country with power against poorer countrys, usa isnt special, they couldnt care less if americans die

Wow, interesting. MY Marine sons and almost every Marine they personally know feel quite the opposite. Oh well, Improvise, Adapt, Overcome, right?

Guess y'all were in FOBs FAR away from each other.

God bless our new Commander-in-Chief, Barack Obama! Thank GOD Bush is out!

If America voted for a politician in Europe, we would pick the hottest chick with the most shiny swastikas. It doesn't really mean anything.

Im in the military, we all hate obama. We're all pretty afraid of what hes gonna do. Hes gonna screw up alot of the progress we've made in iraq. In my company in iraq, out of 180 marines, we had 3 that i knew of who like obama, they were our black marines, everyone else i knew absolutley hate him

"If Europe could vote the next President of the USA, we nearly all vote Obama!"

Why?
