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.
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.
