"Go ahead, refuse to vote for Mcain and prove your point....if you point is to leave our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan dangling in the wind as Obama throws in the towel."

Last poll I saw regarding the fine members of our military showed McCain getting around 51% support. My younger brother, a member of the military stationed remotely, claims that very few of the people he knows are McCain supporters. When I asked him about that in some detail, he said that they serve this country to ensure that we have the freedom to vote our hearts and minds.

The military is certainly not trying to use the troops to bully a vote for McCain. Question is: why are you?

You left out a few important details about the poll. How many other Republicans candidates were also available to choose from? If you’re suggesting that McCain would only get 51% support from our military in a head-to-head against Hillary or Obama, I would find that hard to believe. Perhaps you could find this poll you say you saw and provide a link for us?

McCain was my last option for the GOP nomination (I don’t count Ron Paul as he is a flat out nutburger). But, to turn over the Commander in Chief job to Obama or Hillary, straight up marxists, because McCain jabbed my eyes a few times on other issues does me no good.

When I was in the military, serving abroad, I had no time to follow politics. Now I do and I won’t walk off the battlefield, leaving those who protect me and my family to the whims of the likes of Hillary or Obama.

Because Obama (likely nominee) will do everything he can (as the most liberal Senator as presently ranked) to stick a knife in the military’s back.

Obama=McGovern

I’m not saying vote for McCain because the military personell are voting for them. I’m saying vote for him because he doesn’t want to surrender in Iraq just before we win.

That’s what I meant.

Hope that clears it up for you.
