"Beck is wrong to be contributing to the already low military enthusiasm among our young men, already we are forced to take their girlfriends and 42 year old grandmothers to replace the males that refuse to serve their nation."

Yep, I have to agree. I served under 5 different Presidents, including Clinton and this current retard. Presidents come and go. You don't swear to defend a President, you swear to defend the Constitution.

I come from a family where all the men serve, father 1939-1945, stepfather Korean War time, me and my two brothers and step brother all volunteers during the Vietnam War, my son in 10th Mt in the 90s, cousins, nephews, brother-in-laws etc, we just pull our hitches, we never paid attention to who the President was.

It is kind of funny that now in modern America with over 300 million population, when we have to hire girls and moms to fill the empty slots, that this new sensitivity to who is living in the White House is so important.

That's all good in theory. But the reality is that you carry out the policies of the commander-in-chief. The Supreme Court barely acknowledges the Constitution, much less the executive branch.
