NO! Really? When did this happen; I’ve never heard or read of it.”

Newt grew up as an ‘Army Brat’, his father (step father who adopted him) in the European Theater. Military personnel move, on average, every 3 years - he lived, fro ex: in France and in Germany.

Gingrich has taught at the United States Air Force’s Air University, for over two decades. He is the longest-serving teacher of the Joint Flag Officer Warfighting Course. He is an honorary Distinguished Visiting Scholar and Professor at the National Defense University and teaches officers from all of the defense services. Gingrich informally advised Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld on strategic issues, on issues including the Israeli–Palestinian conflict - so when he talks about “Palestinians” he knows what he’s talking about - Gingrich is also a guiding coalition member of the Project on National Security Reform.

He loves our military and is the only one that has mentioned the murderous, Taliban favoring ROE that our Usurper in chief put in that has resulted, the first year - 2009 - in DOUBLE our KIA’s from the previous worst year of the war. IN 2010, it tripled and this year, may top that.

That’s one of the first things he would do - kill those ROE. (As CIC, there’s probably not many officers that would not know him - a big plus.)

NO other candidate or any moderator picks up on it - I’ve an idea they don’t have a cle what ROE are, let alone what the current ones are.

There is absolutely no doubt about Newt's capabilities. I just had to repost your post to give it more shelf space. Of course, his challenge in this area would be to avoid mistakes one falls into by being too knowledgeable, crazy as that sounds.

I've never served, but relatives and ancestors have. When ignorant disrespect is shown I find it very troubling. Many people can't understand why people concerned with defense are so troubled by Obama. It's very troubling when military actions are grossly misled from the top. There is no greater disgrace, IMHO. If I had no faith in God I would be in a very great despair over the current administration - it's wrong on such a grand scale that, like 9/11, I don't think I'll ever stop shaking my head in disbelief once in a while.

While I prefer Michele on several domestic issues and any of these candidates would be a better CIC than Obama - even Ron Paul, when you think about it (if Congress declared War he might surprise us) - I certainly agree that Newt's resume in this area is superb.
