It's only my opinion...but after reading the excerpt you posted, I still say he doesn't take a clear stand on whether or not he actually supports the war.

From the blog:

"The soldiers I know who are voting for Bush are voting for him because they support him 110% on his Global War On Terrorism, and there is no shadow of a doubt that we did the right thing coming to Iraq. They feel Bush is doing a great job so far out here. A lot of the guys remember what happened to the military the last time a Democrat was in office. The guys I know who served in the military during the Clinton years, tell me all sorts of horror stories about the budget cuts. How they couldn't get any good training done, because they had no money for ammunition or anything. In training, if they ran out of bullets to fire, they would yell "Bang! Bang! Bang!" or yell "Budget Cuts! Budget Cuts! Budget Cuts!" to simulate shots being fired. Since Bush has been in office, we've never had those kinds of problems and there has been nothing but improvements in the military, we've had a couple small pay raises, and the quality of life has gone extremely up for people in the military.
And then there's people like me, who, even though he's kind of a nut, just might vote for Ralph Nader, just because he's the F-U vote."

Lets hope he listens to the 110% behind Bush guys and votes for what's right.

I realize this is a conservative site, but must EVERYTHING be viewed through a partisan prism? I don't care whether this guy adheres to views I 100% agree with or not. He's giving a perspective that we're not getting anywhere else, and he's putting his life on the line in our behalf.

As far as I'm concerned he's paid his dues in spades and I'm not going to second guess his ideology or lack thereof.

I agree with you. If he would just read what he wrote. Under Bush he has received everything he needs. No pointing a rifle or gun and saying "Bang, Bang". What he said about Bush should be enough justification to vote for Bush. I am disheartened that our soldiers do not vote. Voting is a responsibility, not a privilege. But if they do not think through it any more than this soldier then maybe I am glad that they do not vote.
