You are not the only freeper that has military service here. There are many of us on free republic that have military service too. Some freepers even are from the intelligence agencies.

More than you realize. ;-) I'm not waiving the bloody shirt, just giving some background information on my opinion. I only mentioned the military aspect because its relevant to what you say next (and many people feel.)

At any rate, I do not see anyone bashing the military. They are bashing the political leadership that uses our wonderful military for political gain.

I had a friend from high school turn Truther in college. He knew I was SOF support, and an intel guy. He very earnestly stated that there was a lot of evidence that it was MIHOP. False flag attack. Treason, carried out by our own intelligence agencies.

It was ridiculous, but I patiently took to breaking it down for him. I explained the size of the operation that would be, the number of people involved, the vast number of potential leaks, the physical evidence that would exist. Resourcing aside, that was minor to the impossibility of identifying, recruiting and maintaining enough people willing to carry out such and act, and remain silent about it forever.

Long story short, he concluded that I wasn't involved but wasn't ready to see the Truth, and I concluded never to speak to him again.

I understand the desire to look for the truth, but you can't indirectly accuse someone of being a participant in a monstrous crime and cover up without insulting their honor. You don't trust the slimy politician they work for. Got it. But if that UBL conspiracy theory hinges on the participation of the Navy SEALs and the intelligence community, when any of them could go public and prove him wrong, utterly destroying his presidency, then you're basically accusing all of them of the same crime you accuse Obama of.

I don’t agree that by criticizing Obama that freepers are attacking the military at the very same time. After all Obama is the Commander in Chief, and is why he is held accountable. The military just follows orders.

Yes the military can challenge the President based off the UCMJ, but it does not work. For instance, the military personal that challenged Obama on his birth certificate. The few that have end up in prison.

The other day when Obama re released his long form Certificate of Live Birth. People can’t help to wonder why did Obama fight the release of this form? There are men sitting in prison over this! Thus, why many people think it’s fake.

Nonetheless, I do believe OBL was killed by Seal Team 6. The execution (when) of the operation is suspect, and may explain why we have no picture of the full dead body. Remember when we killed Saddam’s sons the photos were released almost immediately? Furthermore, the release of the fake photo did not help things. Perhaps it’s just a SNAFU situation?
