I am surprised they all haven’t deserted, what with the ROE and the killings of Americans by the a-holes they trained to be police. No absentee ballots so they can vote against Obama , and a Media that never mentions them.The Seals outed and set up for Ambush by Obama,secrets that mean nothing.The threat of huge cuts in January.

Being a part of a flustercluck run by a dipstick Muslim is not a happy thought.
