Sorry, it is all a hissy fit. If I can't have everything I want (and we can't), I will take my ball and go home. Fine, be a sissy, go home. Nobody stopping you. But I'm not going with you, because it is a betrayal of our men in the field, objectively treasonous, and politically immature.
Obama isn’t better, but he’s a Democrat. We will be able to say, don’t blame us. If McCain won (which he won’t), they would all be pointing to the Republicans and saying, see, the Republicans aren’t any better on security than the Democrats.
