Barack Obama 'wanted to join US military'

UK Telegraph ^ | Today | Brainhose

[Brainhose]

Barack Obama has said he considered joining the United States military when he left school but decided not to
because the Vietnam war was over and "we weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point".
The statement is thought to be the first time during the 19-month-long presidential campaign that the Democratic
nominee for the White House has indicated he once wanted to serve in uniform. The aspiration was not mentioned in either of his two volumes of memoirs.

[Brainhose]

I guess that revelation will have to wait until his third auto biography.
Holy crap! Obama takes a dump and he writes a book about it but he forgot this little treasure.
He must be getting desperate if he's now copying Hillary's "I wanted to join the Marines" lie.

[SolidWood]

decided not to because the Vietnam war was over and "we weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point".

Bwahahaha! So in other words he REALLY badly wanted to fight in 'Nam. Is this going well with his followers? How does this wannabe-Rambo conform with the image of the "peace-bringer" Obama.

[CPT Clay]

Yeah sure he did.

[screaminsunshine]

He wanted to tell so he could not join.

[Vaquero]

I wanted to join the Service, before I didn't want to join the Service.

[PGR88]

He wanted to “organize” the Army.

[Mr. K]

Did they have selective service requirement that year?

I don’t remember having to do it...

[napscoordinator]

Wow! You learn something everyday. I guess quite a few people perhaps wanted to but decided to go another direction. I did join and still am in. Probably would have done Obama some good to do four years. Oh well he is too old now.

Good lord!

Need to break out the hip-waders and the gas mask for that! that pile of BS is so High and smelly as to be beyond belief.

[dblshot]

Yeah, like the Marines turned down Hillary because of her poor eyesight.

[marlon]

It was just another lie. He says that he registered for selective service, as he had to, in 1979 when he graduated High School. Only problem was there was no selective service requirement in 1979.

This is right up there with Hillary's "I tried to join the Marine Corps but they wouldn't let me" lie she told.

I'm quite certain that Obama never for one nanosecond considered joining the military at any point in his life.

[Sue Perkick]

LOL! Good one. I surprised he didn’t attempt to use race as the reason he was unable to fulfill his dream.

Just the thought of this pompous ass trying to argue with a DS gives me the giggles. He seems like the type that would.

[itsthejourney]

Proving once again he’s all talk and no action.

[Jeff Head]

If he really had wanted to do this, we would have heard about it long before now.

With the likes of Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright so many others like them in his resume, this shmuck is simply trying to fool people into thinking that he has an ounce of desire to truly servie this nation and patriotism in his blood.

IMHO, he does not...no one centilla.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

[Brainhose]

I'm only 1 year younger than him and I had to register for the draft, I would bet dollars to donuts he had to as well.
Otherwise, if he were really sincere about joining he would have done it instead of telling this outrageous lie.

[Kozak]

Yeah, he was in line at the recruiters right behind Hillary.

[NordP]

He's just a liar...what HASN'T he lied about?
