To judge by my chance encounter with a couple of marines in transit this past spring, they sure are. It was sometime after 11 PM that a friend and I repaired to the "courtyard" at our Marriott to enjoy our cigars. After a while two young guys in an interior first floor room came out and sort of asked us "what was going on out here." One of them, or maybe both of them, came out with glass quart bottles of beer. They let it be know that they were on their way to redeployment, in Afghanistan I think. My friend is ex-Navy, and it didn't take long for the conversation to become friendly. I think I must have asked them what they thought about their Commander in-chief. Well they just launched, especially the one who had obviously consumed more than his daily ration of beer. Sometimes it wasn't pretty. One of those quart bottles found its way to the cement. And the marine who was still in control of his beer bottle sometimes tried to get his buddy to calm down. We wound up passing around my cigar, as I imagine hippies might do with a joint. And no one spoke an encouraging word about the Commander in-chief.

I work near a recruitment center and oftentimes have opportunity to talk with the recruiters. They basically are of that same mind set concerning Bo as commander in chief. Awaiting 2012 far more than the citizens for the sake of their fellow troops in battle. They hate how these wars are being fought.
They know they are being used. They know he is a Saudi agent.
I hate to ask this but were either of the Marines black? According to a guy on Lou Dobbs yesterday who was from Gallup, black support is still over 90%.

“And no one spoke an encouraging word about the Commander in-chief.”
I got several friends who are still active duty and active reservists. Unfortunately, there were many military personnel who were suckered by The Won (just like Clinton suckered many during his first run)!
However, The Won has quickly lost the majority of the military. I had two active duty friends who were supporters of Obamao, but they quickly lost faith when he suggested that Veterans should have to pay for their own combat injuries through personal health insurance!
I do not personally know a single active duty/active reservist who supports The Won! They are ready for him to be GONE!
My son, a paratrooper currently in Afghanistan won’t even talk about it. He just locks up. Can’t say anything, but I know what he’s saying...
