As he winds down one war and escalates another, President Obama is struggling to win over the troops he's leading as commander in chief -- and military advocates say the real test will come as the nation approaches final timelines for withdrawal in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Mr. Obama has earned strong reviews from veterans groups, which praise his willingness to listen and his aggressive funding of the Veterans Affairs Department.
His progress among active-duty service members, however, has been slower. A Military Times poll this year found that a majority disapproved of his leadership as their commander.

Ya think?
This is one Vet that would just as soon spit on him as look at him.
“Mr. Obama has earned strong reviews from veterans groups” OK name them.
Spoke to some fresh faced Marines who weren’t to pleased with their CIC either.
If I were still in, I’d quit....................
I find it interesting that we have a President that is afraid to visit our troops in Iraq or Afghanistan. He’s even afraid to visit our Southern borders to see what is really going on. He can ask our kids to put their lives on the line but won’t do the same for his country.
I’m retired, so I give him the 1 finger salute every time the copters pass over
strong reviews...........doesn’t say which direction............
John Kerry and Wesley Clark’s Obama fan club?
Cindie
Kicking a man who puts his life on the line on a daily basis doesn’t make a lot of friends. Threatening to take away military healthcare doesn’t do much either.
That quivering bowl of worm vomit deserves a one finger salute.
That makes two of us.....
21 dead in past 48 hours
so many families and lives, torn forever ... and for what? the sinkus is double dealing with the saudis to make a deal with the tollybon
The author didn't say which country! lol
Make it three.
It says”strong reviews”, but it doesn’t say positive reviews. Could be strongly negative.
One thing Democrats really need to ask themselves....”Is this President the type of person that you would want protecting your six?” I would think not.
“Spoke to some fresh faced Marines who weren’t to pleased with their CIC either.”
In this case “CIC” stands for Community organizer In Chief. He’s a maggot of the first order.
Tell those fresh faced Marines that this old Jarhead says: “Semper Fi! We WILL give them a REAL CIC in 2012.” That’s a PROMISE!”
Why would anyone salute a racist commie pile of puke? Ok only if they are muslim..
