Given Obama's history and education, there isn't any reason for the active military to trust anything that our new president has to say.
With Obama's history and experience, he has no experience with anything military other than being associated with the Chicago thugs in ACORN, which everyone knew about before the election, with the underbelly of Chicago political corruption, and his association with the 'urban terrorist' organization, ACORN, where is the rocket science that seems to be needed to figure out that Obama is not here for us.
Even during the campaign he said all along he wanted to 'change' America to a more 'inclusive and fair' society, that is, level the playing field by taking from the productive and give to unproductive. He stated that he would go over seas and talk sense to our enemies - he stated something to the effect, ' we need to be more up-front with who we are, and after I explain to them that we mean no harm, the hatred that now exist for America all over the world will not exist. We need not solve these problems by force of arms.'
Little wonder the active military has one eye on their backs when they go to work. Obama did not hide his preference for Islamist terrorists, as most democrats do, as he never hid his distaste for the military or America itself. Evidence the lack of a flag pin on lapel or holding his hand over his heart or saying the pledge to the flag of our great country when he was on the campaign trail. Obama does not like this country as it is or how it has been for the last 250 years.
Socialism is the new trend now as witnessed by over sixty million people voting for him in November.
are all these people ignorant or just don't care anymore about anything except 'what's in it for me". Obama's background, and his vision for the future of this country, is not lost on the military.
Keep the faith - we have the best military in the world - thank God!!
NewsMax Article
Respondents to the survey of more than 1,900 active-duty subscribers to Army Times, Air Force Times, Navy Times and Marine Corps Times newspapers say much of the uncertainty lies in Obama's lack of military service and experience in leadership abilities.
"Being that the Marine Corps can be sent anywhere in the world with the snap of his fingers, nobody has confidence in this guy as commander in chief," one lance corporal who asked not to be identified said in a follow up interview with The Times.
Other issues causing uncertainty among the ranks are Obama’s stated 16-month timetable for pulling combat troops out of Iraq and his call to end the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy to allow gays to serve openly in the military.
Half of all respondents say they disapprove of Obama’s plan to withdraw troops from Iraq within 16 months of taking office on Jan. 20. A slightly higher percent say they support the plan to leave the country by the end of 2011.
The survey shows eight out of 10 respondents say the U.S. should have gone to war in Afghanistan and express optimism the U.S. will succeed there. A majority support plans to boost the number of troops in Afghanistan, while 30 percent say troops will need to stay for more than a decade to achieve its goals.
A higher percentage of respondents say outgoing President George W. Bush has their best interests at heart over Obama. Nearly half described their political views as conservative or very conservative. Slightly more than half said they consider themselves Republicans, 22 percent independents and 13 percent Democrats.
One-third of respondents say they are optimistic about the newly elected president, including eight out of 10 black service members.
The survey notes that responses are not representative of the opinions of the military as a whole, and that the survey group overall under-represents minorities, women and junior enlisted service members, and over-represents soldiers.
