More U.S. troops and veterans are voicing support for President Obama in the upcoming general election, according to Reuters' report on a recent poll. The result might be a byproduct of dissatisfaction with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, concern over threats of a conflict with Iran over failed nuclear negotiations, and talk of Pentagon budget cuts.

[ConservativeStatement]

The media propaganda machine is at work. Brainwashing 101.

[tet68]

You’re not kidding there.
It’s always better to push the big lie.

[tomkat]

Reuters = Fiction

Oh Yeah, just like we wanted Carter in the Whitehouse for another 4 years.

[ruesrose]

Yes, it must be propaganda. In my volunteer work I speak to many active duty and veterans. They do not like him at all and plan to vote against him. I say vote against him because they don’t like Myth Romney much better but feel that their service to this country (NOT on Obama’s behalf) will have been wasted if Obama is re-elected and continues to take this country toward the type of government they fought against.

Brainwashing 101.

No kidding!! I'm retired military (24 years) and my son is an AF Pilot. I work as a contractor with a lot of military and I rise the BS flag on this story!

Goebbles had nothing on today's mainstream media.

I believe this as much as I believe that former N. Korean Dictator Kin Il-sung got four holes-in-one the first time he played golf.

whoa- that one IS a whopper

[rfreedom4u]

Whoa there pilgrim! I’ve seen lots more bumper stickers and shirts showing the opposite here in Colorado. Soldiers and family members are even wearing them on post. I asked about putting a sign in my yard but was told I can’t. Don’t believe the majority of the military support this jackass! That is a lie.

Now I know this bunch of Communist are delusional..

Which Obama has made increasingly worse.

concern over threats of a conflict with Iran over failed nuclear negotiations

Which Obama will ignore until it's too late and we HAVE to go to war.

and talk of Pentagon budget cuts.

Which Obama will push not only as political blackmail against Republicans but also in favor of funding social programs to include ObamaCare.

Yep, there's a LOT for the troops to love about Obama all right.

Let's see, n troops support Obama. Then another, n + 1, so using mathematical induction we reach the conclusion that more troops are supporting Obama. More means one more.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

That would be the european propaganda organ “al-Reuters”?

[TigerClaws]

“more troops”? More than what? 5% is more than 4%? “Don’t ask don’t tell” troops?

Pure wishful thinking disguised as news.

[mountainlion]

I question the logic of Roto-rooters. If a person joins the military they expect some war somewhere along the way. How can you join the military and disrespect your country? I can not understand this. You can question the leadership and decisions respectfully and there are many mistakes. How can you respect an administration that will not let you shot back when you come under attack? How can a civilian respect an administration that attacks your country? How can you respect John Hanoi Kerry or Murtha that accuse thy troops of war crimes?

[dps.inspect]

Ya... up from 1% to 1.82%... of course you have Obama supporters in the military, particularly in the brass ranks, they know politics and from where their skids are greased.

[beethoven]

This is NOT what I am hearing from active or retired military. I believe it's more of the Obama style. . .”Lie often enough and someone is bound to believe it”. . .

[badgerlandjim]

Our military people first began to swing over to the Obama camp way back when Hussein suggested they should use their own insurance to pay for medical treatment for wounds and illnesses incurred by them in service. They all were just grateful to him to be able to make more sacrifices for their country. And they certainly wouldn’t want Moochie to have to miss out on one of her vacations just because the gubmint was wasting money on care for veterans.

Colonel David Hunt was a huge Barry supporter in 2008. He has since admitted an error in judgment. Earlier this year, I heard him praise Michelle as a first lady who did more for the military than any other first lady.
