A graph on the site shows Obama's approval within the military around 10%.

His disapproval is close to 60%.

This may prove interesting when the Administration proceeds to start a war.
Which it will.

This would be a coup if we lived in any other country...

Two problems: first, that this administration is profoundly ideological in a way that no previous administration has been, and that ideology holds the military in contempt; second, that 0bama is a non-veteran with the worst political tin ear in memory - the picture of the Marine holding the umbrella is a perfect example but there are many, many others. It doesn’t take a lot to keep morale up, even Clinton managed it more or less, heck, even Carter managed it, but whether it’s an overinflated sense of self-importance or simple, stubborn disrespect, 0bama just can’t seem to keep from stepping on his...ah...shoelaces.

One MIGHT say a commander this unpopular COULD have been a candidate for Fragging in times past.

He’s deeply unpopular with civilians too.

I’m retired Navy and I still work for the Navy. I work with the sailors every day. I see an almost universal disdain for this pResident. Of course when deployments go from 6 months to 9 months (or more) with less than a year turnaround between them, and LONG hours and lots of at sea time during the turnaround period (so the ship can be ready for that next deployment) how can one expect them not to dislike the administration?

They would turn physically their backs to Obama like the NY police if it was at all possible.

He is even more disliked than Billy “I loathe the military” Clinton.
Which is an amazing accomplishment.

I’d wager the bulk of the approvers is either black, gay, female, or some other politically favorable minority.

A survey of the Pentagon would probably look inverted to this poll. He’s made sure to staff bootlickers in key positions.

Dislike for Obama translates to low moral in the military which becomes a force multiplier for our enemies.

True. And unemployment would be 30%, and his approval rating with the public would be in the teens.
Fix the press; fix the country.

This scumbag and his administration started charging people to use the eagle globe and anchor and all of our other branches for use on product. An extra $1,000. These branches are owned by the PEOPLE. Our taxes pay for it and now they want to charge us for it!!! F*** this president.

I wrote to a MARINE CONGRESSMAN and sent a case of our marine dogs to him and told him what was going on and that I was one disgusted American who refuses to pay this muslim tax.

Of course I heard back right away. yeah right.

I still recall, early in his ‘administration’, when the Coward-in-Chief banned ceremonial swords at a military academy graduation that he attended as keynote speaker.
