According to former U.S. Navy SEAL Carl Higbie, over 90 percent of troops disapprove of President Barack Obama. Higbie made the comments to “On The Record” host Greta Van Susteren Wednesday.
“Effective today, the president? A photo-op? or something in between?” Susteren asked.
“Photo-op. Complete photo-op. This indicative of a global failure of his foreign policy,” Higbie explained. “He has toted that he is behind the troops before and he stands in front of these guys, gets a photo-op, everything like that, while saying he’s going to send 3,000 guys to combat Ebola, but I’m not going to send any to combat an actual enemy that’s really threatening America.”

I am surprised it is that low.
‘Twas a misprint.
It’s over 99.9% don’t support the dork.
We are severely testing the military’s professionalism.
When the first soldier dies of Ebola, I would look the other way if Obama found it impossible to leave the White House.
Alternate Headline: ‘10% of U.S. Troops Totally Stupid, Clueless Idiots’
And let’s break down the make-up of those often seen in these ‘photo ops’, shall we? Usually females, blacks, and those two white guys you see are probably homosexuals. That’s about it.
Tell me about it. Who are the remaining 10%? Sleeper Muslims in the military waiting to go “Hasan”? Oh excuse me: “Commit workplace violence”.
Considering that 17.8% of the military is Black, that means that a significant percentage of Black soldiers, sailors, and Marines don't support him.
It could be pretty close to that.
In 2008 Obama got a roughly estimated 23% of the military vote, so today it could be down to an area of 12% to 18% or something.
If he were a sports manager or it was a stockholder meeting he’d be out on the street.
I consider this is just someone giving their opinion.
90% in this case probably means “a whole lot” or “an overwhelming majority”...but not really 90%.
They all be racisss!
We'll see.
This is why some states make it difficult for the services to vote absentee.
I seem to remember that in the Bush-Gore election, Florida declared that the military ballots lacked the proper postmark, and Ohio sent the ballots out too late for them to be returned before the deadline.

GOOD!
I believe the the 90% number when it comes to the rank & file.
My larger concern is the senior officer corps where bammy and his ilk appear to have been making some inroads - getting rid of patriots and replacing them with so-called “enlightened” leaders.
I guess I shouldn’t worry too much. When the shtf, the mid-level officers will do what needs to be done (hopefully by then, they have not been purged as well...).
