A lot of folks fought in the 1940s under left wing FDR.
So they should have not served and let Japan and Germany
take over. Sure, that would work....Not

There won’t be a 2012 election if we pack it in which
means more 9/11s and worse.

There is no comparison between WWII and now. During WWII, there was a very real threat to the very existence of the country AND FDR was all for fighting the war - he wasn't going to hamstring US soldiers with idiotic rules of engagement, prosecute soldiers for doing their jobs, and leave soldiers in heavy combat zones understaffed while he takes his sweet ass time deciding whether or not to reinforce them, nor did FDR go on a world tour apologizing for every military endeavor the US was ever engaged in.

Obama is not, in any way, interested in the security and well being of the US. He will let US soldiers die needlessly if it helps him politically. If I were a young man thinking of enlisting, I'd damn sure wait until Obama was out of office. Why, then, shouldn't someone thinking of re-enlisting consider waiting until Obama is out of office? Our part in Iraq is pretty much over, and Obama is not going to do what it takes to win in Afghanistan. We'll be lucky if he doesn't get all of our guys over there killed. Serving there now will not help the US as long as Obama is running the show. Besides, the biggest threat to the US is not in Afghanistan, at the moment. Guess where it is.

The big difference?

FDR, left wing as he was, was actually TRYING TO WIN WWII.

Name something the 0bama has done that doesn't:

A. weakened America
B. strengthened islam
C. attacked Israel

...or some combination of the above.

FDR vs. Obama?

Even a capitalist like Conrad Black wrote a biography of FDR that
gave him credit for being pro-America and fighting WWII to win.

And you should hear my flyover-country relatives that were alive
and ages 10-15 during the later part of FDR’s Administration.

They didn’t love everything about FDR but give him credit for keeping
the country from going Communist/Facist during The Great Depression.

And they HATE Obama for being the Anti-American he reveals himself to
be every day.
I think the only reason they won’t be committing suicide soon was
seeing AG Holder getting his head handed to him on national TV...
and the resurgence of some American spirit (e.g., including Palin’s public appearances)

Different circumstances.As socialist as fdr was he was in the war to win it.The atomic program was proof enough of that.The muzzi in charge now is going all out to destroy this country from within.The nephew can help us fight them here.

FDR was certainly socialistic, but he wasn't in any way pacifistic, spiteful toward America, or not fully committed to the war at hand. Obama is all 3. BIG DIFFERENCE. I'd advise military men not to re-enlist at this time too...as this administration is determined to lose all our military conflicts--in the same way they are determined destroy the American economy (so as to in the crises remake it fully socialist).

I don’t give a hangnail what happened in WWII. We were a different nation then and had more patriots, especially in hollywood.

Without the whole government and USA might behind them, it’s a loser.

Pussy footing along will get you killed. 58,000 will prove it for ya.

Not an apt comparison.

The problem is not that Obama is a lefty, but that he hates the military and the United States. He wants the troops to die, because he hates them. Cf. the outrageous rules of engagement.

As lefty as FDR was, even his critics never thought he hated the U.S. or the military. Did he sell out to “Uncle Joe”? Absolutely. But we weren’t at war with “Uncle Joe.”
