I agree about the American Soldier, there is a long line of Army, Navy and Marines in the family all the back to pre-revolutionary days. It’s just that things that have been harped on about Caligula that he has not done are all of a sudden being done - I don’t trust the man. All of a sudden he is giving the populace exactly what they want.

Wow, good work tracing it back that far, you should be proud. My own family history seems to be more engineer than soldier (my dad, sister, and I are engineers, also a grandfather and great grandfather were), however there has been a spike of Army service in my immediate family. My dad was an army officer as well, my non-engineer brother served in the army, and I served in the army national guard.

I find growing up an army brat gives one a different perspective. I don't think of myself as belonging to any particular part of the USA, I think of myself as a USA citizen.

The problem I have with Obama, is that I really don't think he views himself as a citizen. Not to say anything about the legal debate on the matter, just talking about his heart. I don't think he has bought into really being a part of this nation except as a resident and a heckler...certainly a very foolish choice for our leader.
