“He’s better than Barack Obama. And it’s not close.”
Right On!
I’m a Fredhead still sulking a little over him dropping out and my 2nd choice did not fare much better, so now that we are down to just McCain, I have to ask myself, who would rather turn the military over to, McCain, Clinton, or Obama?
Two of the above names would destroy the military as an effective fighting force by the sheer number of trained soldiers who would get out as soon as they could. They will be replaced by young people just looking for a job in the poor economy that certainly will come with a quasi-socialist government. Having served in the Navy under Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan I have seen this first hand, the difference in moral. Under Jimmy Carter, FTN was very popular graffiti found on the bulkheads of my ship, the stalls in the heads, and at the top of letters the sailors sent home. I’m not going to spell it out but you know what FTN stands for. When Reagan took over this attitude changed and we had pride once again, and re-enlistments went way up, and that foul graffiti disappeared.
If McCain is our nominee, as much as I dislike him I will hold my nose and vote for him for the sake of the military alone.
I have to agree, I was Navy under Carter as CIC (USS Truxtun, CGN-35). I cannot let our guys get saddled with an Obama or (worse) Clinton as their CIC, they would be abused and used as fodder for every dimwit UN “meals-on-wheels” program under the sun and never, EVER allowed to do anything in defense of the US.
