There was isolated cheers when Obama said his withdrawal policy would ensure fewer deployments more time to prepare for the future,.....
The silence deepened when the president lauded his strategy of withdrawal from the war. Make no mistake, ending the wars responsibly makes us safer and our military even stronger, and ending these wars is letting us dos something else; restoring American leadership, he said amid complete silence.
When he said demobilized soldiers would find jobs because all of you have the skills America needs, he got little reaction.
There was no reaction when he promised stepped-up recruitment of soldiers for police jobs.
Poor guys have to go where they’re ordered to go...but they can’t order them to like it...or to smile.
They know they were being used as props, and they all know what Hussein thinks about the military.
Once they've dubbed in a lot of cheering sounds they'll release it.
I may not know all 57 states in the Union but I do know you should be facing the Flag during the “Pledge of Allegiance” or the “Star Spangled Banner.”
It’s over. He knows that now.
I am SO glad my son is at Fort Bragg now instead of Bliss. Think the shoot-down of the Chinook carrying the SEAL team was the final straw for him. Should NEVER have happenend!
Can’t be over fast enough. Especially for the guys in Afghanistan getting blown away almost every damn day thanks to abu bama’s good buddies,
If it was anyone other than Obama, I would feel bad for him. There are many times when Obama gives what should be positive, military-centered applause lines, pauses, and doesn’t even have one soldier clapping. Is there peer pressure to remain silent? Do 99% of our soldiers hate Obama as much as most decent Americans do? Or were the troops standing in formation for four hours before Obama showed up, and even those who still like Obama for his diversity are too bored to care?
The vast majority of our soldiers know who really cares about them, and you can bet your behind they know it isn’t the “won” or any democrap.
And (unusually) accurate.
Once again, Obama ( and the press) is (are) out of touch with the real world and the military in particular. Why didn't they applaud? Because they were pissed! This is the Friday before a long holiday weekend. They were ordered to attend. Otherwise the crowd would have been like all Obama’s crowds lately... exceptionally small. If they had not been ordered to attend they would have started the 96-hour liberty of the Labor Day weekend. With the speech, they were trapped on Ft Bliss until Obama was “wheels in the well” out of El Paso. Some would have attended but not nearly as many because many, many would have swooped!
Yes, but it's a silent movie.
Well.... they did try, and it was a rush.
My hat is off to you. After only 6 minutes I wanted to put myself out of my misery! I had to stop watching!!
How about these?
Hey, I hear you, he said amid silence.
Says it all.

Another LIE
Since he kept talking, he apparently didn’t ‘hear them’.
