I pray every day that we see another military man in the Oval Office. Alan West comes first to my mind. The days of Eisenhower and even Kennedy are long gone, and this limp-wristed bullshit being pushed on to our men and women is appalling.

I’m not one to pray for someone’s precipitous decline, but I’m hopeful for Obama’s. People like the faggot-in-chief should be jailed for crimes against America.

This is not so much about the CiC, it's more about the entrenched REMF bureaucracy within the military. How many of those in the higher echelons of our command structure are life-long REMF's who spent their time in academy classes and command schools rather than in the field and have experience of using equipment under combat conditions?

Even more, how many of those in command are the military's version of a politician, who would sell his soul and his values and beliefs for advancement. How many "Good Conduct Medal" commanders do we have?

Could be a member of Congress or someone in the White House with connections to a contractor, or it could simply be "bean-counter logic."

Either way, it should not be occurring. Our troops deserve the best and only the very best equipment.

You are way too lenient! Our so called leader has done a way better job than the terrorists who “Only” brought down the twin towers, were as he along with his Kameraden is in the process of bringing down the whole country.

I pray every day that we see another military man in the Oval Office...

I think we will, his name is Putin.
