Results released last week of a survey of military service members, conducted by Military Times, showed weak support for President Obama among the troops he commands.
Just 36 percent of the service members who were surveyed approve of Obama’s handling of the war in Afghanistan, well below the general public’s approval of Obama’s performance in Afghanistan.
Nearly half of the active duty service members in the survey called themselves conservative, while only 8 percent called themselves liberal.
Only 12 percent of service members surveyed by the Military Times identified themselves as Democrats, compared with 41 percent who identified themselves as Republicans.
Of note is how many troops don’t identify themselves with either party. A similar survey conducted in 2004 showed that 60 percent of military service members identified themselves as Republicans, with 12 percent calling themselves Democrats.

Islam sure as hell is out to defeat us.
It’s a reasonable rant. And while I do appreciate your service, I understand your ambivalence about it, and completely agree with the idea of getting back to the “American way of war” that we seem to have lost in the post-WWII era.
Bush did us no favors with his “it’s a religion of peace” crap.
There is no such thing as the “American way of war.”
Right.

Low-intensity conflict is defined by the US Army as: ... a political-military confrontation between contending states or groups below conventional war and above the routine, peaceful competition among states.
It frequently involves protracted struggles of competing principles and ideologies. Low-intensity conflict ranges from subversion to the use of the armed forces. It is waged by a combination of means, employing political, economic, informational, and military instruments. Low-intensity conflicts are often localized, generally in the Third World, but contain regional and global security implications."
