Romney’s larger lead is a sign that veterans are dissatisfied with Obama, rather than pleased particularly with Romney – Romney, after all, was not a military man while McCain famously was. The poll did not ask military vets about their feelings on the end of “don’t ask, don’t tell.” Despite Obama’s attempts to pander to veterans by offering them larger benefits and suggesting that we build a country “worthy” of our returning vets, America’s military men and women continue to prefer hawkish foreign policy and fiscal responsibility to appeasement-oriented foreign policy and heavy spending....

I call BS. My cuz is stationed in South Korea and he knows most of the senior officers, NCO’s at Red Cloud and he knows no one in that camp who likes Odumbo.
The REMF’s however...are a different matter.
Yeah, but will their votes be counted?

I could never understand the “Combat Arms” types (I read your bio) and their denigrating of logistics and supply personnel by calling them “Rear Echelon MOTHER F———?”
First, I’m offended at being called a MOTHER F-—— for obvious reasons.
Beyond that, I worked my butt off 18-20 hours a day for eight months during OPS DESERT SHIELD AND DESERT STORM pushing supplies to forward Marine Division, Marine Wing and Marine Combat Service Support units AND in some cases to ARMY units from my base of operations. During the build-up in OPS DESERT SHIELD we didn’t have any place to “rotate back” to for “REST AND RECREATION”... we WORKED the entire time.
Yes, pushing YOUR fuel, ammunition, chow, much needed water forward; providing YOUR maintenance contact teams and calling in air med-evac teams to pull “Combat Arms” guys like you back to the “Rear Echelon” after you got your butts shot up.
Pray tell, three questions, if you should care to answer or even have a valid answer:
1. Why are logistics and supply types like me “MOTHER F———?”
2. How do you suppose you would get YOUR much needed fuel, ammunition, chow and water, etc. if it was not for us “Rear Echelon MOTHER F———?”
3. Why would you make a blanket assumption that we would be in a demographic that would support a fraud and usurper like Obama?

I refer you to my Post #23 below. Can you also answer my three questions?
In 2008 Obama got 44% of the military vote and now it seems he’ll get around 35% if this poll is accurate.
No need to take anything I post personally. Thank you for your service.

This is vet vote, not all current military
If it is higher than 10-15% I would be both shocked and disheartened.
Might even mean that this year's Corps birthday party, the 60th I'll celebrate, will require lots of alcohol followed by 3-4 days at the range clearing the hangover...
“...lots of alcohol followed by 3-4 days at the range clearing the hangover...”
Sounds like a good plan either way.
