whatever you wish to call it - I am 200% behind our troops -
How many close family members do YOU have in the war zones?
Maine-iac, I honorably served my country for eight plus years. I'd say that gives me the right, above and beyond my citizenship, to vote any way I please.
Besides, you never answered one of my earlier questions, to wit: what about the active duty military that votes Democrat in the 2008 election? Whether the percentage is 5% or 25%, are you going to call them traitors as well?
All I've said is that I will not vote for McCain or Huckabee.
You really need to get over yourself.
As a matter of fact, I do have a family member currently in Iraq, as well as several classmates from ROTC that are still on active duty and have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's not going to do them any good to have McCain or Huckabee as their CinC.
The major item that turned me away from Dubya was his complete failure as CinC from 2005-2006. He allowed the rules of engagement to be politicized (among other things), which put more of our troops in harms way. He was backed into a corner, and fortunately selected GEN Petraeus to turn things around.
