It’s not really a big shocker to say those serving in the military aren’t big fans of Barack Obama, but when you see just how much our men and women in uniform despise their “Commander-In-Chief,” it will simply blow your mind.
This is astounding, yet for some strange reason, very comforting.
From Weasel Zippers via Military Times:
… The long-term effects of Obama’s social policies on the military remain unknown. But one thing is clear: He is a deeper unpopular commander in chief among the troops.
According to a Military Times survey of almost 2,300 active-duty service members, Obama’s popularity — never high to begin with — has crumbled, falling from 35 percent in 2009 to just 15 percent this year, while his disapproval ratings have increased to 55 percent from 40 percent over that time. So I guess completely disrespecting the military by attempting to cut their pay raises, not awarding them certain benefits they need to cover their medical bills, and preventing them from receiving adequate healthcare takes a negative toll on how they perceive leadership.
Who would’ve thought?
Obama has repeatedly slammed our armed forces and through his many lawless actions has proven he’s not leadership material, nor does he possess qualities our troops can admire or look up to.
How can a man effectively lead the nation’s military if those under him don’t like him or trust him?
The simple answer is he can’t, which is why our foreign policy is a joke and our response to threats to our freedom and safety continue to go largely unchecked.
Let’s hope the next occupant of the Oval Office is someone who respects, reveres, and loves our military and can effectively perform the duties of their office to keep America safe.
Why is a poll even necessary? The man is a disgusting, pathetic puke.
There’s an obvious solution to this dilemma: more transgender troops.
See? Men in uniform just LOVE the idea of bunking with OTHER MEN in uniform who happen to REALLY LIKE men in uniform. And showering. And getting thrown in the brig on false charges or defending themselves...and...
Not to mention the BS Roe’s......
I would be curious what his rating is with law enforcement as well.
The President is a man that attacks existing authority and attempts to transplant it with his own.
Consider his efforts to undermine the authority of our military globally while waging similar attacks on local police domestically.
It seems that he is a bad man. I mean that in a Micheal Jackson way. Not the young Micheal Jackson, but the old Micheal Jackson.
Well, you're getting Hillary or Jeb - so do banksters or Saudis like our military better? :)
Maybe because they’re REAL men and not these feminized hormone taking transgender things that sit on computers all day long plotting evil?
As long as he has that "civilian military that's just as strong, just as powerful, just as well-funded", who cares?
The JCS should have resigned long ago.
People need to hit the pain threshold and they aren’t there yet. Eventually they’ll hit it and it’ll be real ugly when they do. because they have spent 6+ years lying to themselves about a lot of things and none of them are gonna want to take personal responsibility for letting things get to this level so Barry and the left are gonna suffer moreso than they would have.
Which won’t upset me. But it never SHOULD have gotten this far. Because of moral cowardice, it did.
If I was to make a guess, I would say Hussein's numbers aren't as bad among the law enforcement community. However, given that huge numbers of LEOs are conservative in one degree or the other, I'd venture to guess his numbers wouldn't be very good. I guess it would depend mostly on which type of agency and where....urban versus rural, sheriff versus PD, local versus federal, etc.
Then why did so many here vote Republican in November? (`Cause that exactly describes the Republican Party's actions toward their base for the past several years.)
After I retired from the USAF, I went to work for the California Dept of Corrections, and his rating was about the same, LOW.
To add to the list, obama also cut the troops serving in the field down to two meals a day.
We are where we are today because far too many American voters chose poorly. Those who voted for 0bama and his minions aren’t worth a single drop of blood.
This poll is therefore largely irrelevant, and only of interest in the academia (where it will be dismissed) or on the internet, where it will be lost in the noise.
Obama has just named the first transsexual general. His name is General Dick Chopoff.
