A poll by the Military Times newspaper group suggests that there is overwhelming support for John McCain among U.S. troops in every branch of the armed forces by a nearly 3-1 margin.
According to the poll, 68 percent of active-duty and retired servicemen and women support McCain, while 23 percent support Barack Obama. The numbers are nearly identical among officers and enlisted troops.

Not one to ever question our brave men and women in uniform, just have to wonder how Osama gets even 23% of the vote when he essentially called them killers and murderers with that “air-raiding villages and killing civilians” remark.
Gosh,
The military favors McCain massively over Obama?
I am shocked.
Why wouldn’t they support a jr senator that championed defeat in Iraq, voted against funding the troops on the battle field, and by doing so encouraged the enemy to keep up the fight?
That is a big mystery. I wonder if the MSM can figure it out.
McCain should paint those votes Hussein brags so much about exactly the way you just did. Hope someones watching this. Makes a good 3AM ad.

Liberal propaganda and myths!
Blacks (11%-12% tops) were eclipsed by Hispanics (over 13%) in the USA years ago
Blacks in the military per “$70,000-Red” Rangel were killed more than whites - BS!
Blacks in combat risk MOS jobs are way under 11% - under 9% death rates - You know who takes point
- they select logistics, truck driver, clerical, office slots
In Korea they finally had to put them in front foxholes - and tell them not to turn aroound or run
Too many troops were overrun by ChiCom troops because of those who deserted and hid under fire
We had a Major who worked in real estate for us in Florida that had resigned his commission because the Army refused to Court Martial “runners”
You have been fed and swallowed the racist lies of Rangle, Ownes, Jackson, etc.
Rangle keeps pushing bring back the draft - then votes against his own bill!
He wants to keep the USA out of any military actions
They don’t call him “Red” Rangle for nothing!
At Jackson they were outta Basic in the first few weeks - after just one multiple choice test
Advanced Infantry (Cannon Fodder) school was “Whiteys” - (with a very low proportion of “others” - who insisted on enlisting and getting GEDs - they were good sharp tough guys)
Puerto Ricans (all were shorties at Jackson) - few who spoke English - went to Knox as Tankers (they FIT in tanks)
The job not to have was Forward Observer - Artillery - you lifespan was in seconds
There were lots of great Platoon Sarges and Company Commanders (Captains) that were black at Jackson - some from WWII
Look at this quote from the MT:
“The results of the Military Times 2008 Election Poll are not representative of the opinions of the military as a whole. The group surveyed is older, more senior in rank and less ethnically diverse than the overall armed services.”
That's not true, I know a lot of people who were polled for this and it ranged from E-4 to O-4 (all types of races)
Lol, that’s funny. Wonder who the little boy is who is in the gif and if he has seen it?
Obama wants young women to have to register for Selective Service too.
bttt
.
Ever heard a HS or college girl mention Obama wants to register them for Selective Service and require “some civilian or Peace Corps equivalent”?
He blabs so much the young idiot libs don’t know what they are in for!
Like 2 years in Kenya or the Sudan......
Excellent observation.
[ the young idiot libs don’t know what they are in for!

Doubt if many young people are even aware of that.
.
The 60’s Yippies and SDS ran to Canada when democrat LBJ was President
And Bill Clinton ran to Oxford after lying to his Arkansas National Guard in letters
Barack Hussein Obama Junior never even wore a Cub Scout uniform
Yet he imagines he can be the American Putin or Chavez or Castro
Or Ayers......
Yes, I know.
But I am pleasantly surprised at how many young Soldiers, both officer and enlisted, are spontaneously telling me they are for McCain.
If I'm asked by someone junior to me, I tell them, "Officers don't have political positions."
What officers talk about amongst themselves, though, is quite a different story.
It is a VERY PRO-McCain-Palin environment 'round here.
I was always open about what I thought, but I was always conservative, and conservative was always the best description of the military.
We had some interesting concerns and cautions regarding Clinton’s “don’t ask/tell” initiative and also about the incursion into Bosnia/Kosovo.
