“All the military should resign en masse...”
____________

Gen Powell was being interviewed today and he said that recruitment is way up- he attributes it partly to the economy and partly to the excitement over a new Commander in Chief.

Commander in Chief Barak Hussein Obama....humh.

Perhaps- but did Powell mention how many are NOT re-upping? I know many of my son’s buddies who were waiting to see how the election went- they are due to re-up in Feb. Not ONE of them is staying. These are guys who have been through combat in Iraq and Afghanistan- and would have stayed if McC were elected.

Bringing in new recruits is terrific- keeping seasoned soldiers is crucial.

Colin Powell don’t know what he’s talking about. Recruitment is DOWN, and many military members are separating or retiring. He’s stupid.
