<<<<< When it comes to the opinion of our military, the Marine Times is not an aversion, but a representative fact.
Here is the bad news: across
the board, in all age groups, with retired vets and active
military, Obama is not scoring points needed to win the military vote he
commands. And, the libs at Gallup have no clue as to why.
First the bad news:
Now,
the "we don't have a clue" part:
Gallup writes:
"Why veterans are so strong in their preference for the Republican
presidential candidate is not clear. Previous
Gallup analysis has suggested that two processes may be at work. Men
who serve in the military may become socialized into a more conservative
orientation to politics as a result of their service. . . . . . .
"
Apparently,
the Gallup people don’t following the news. Over the years, we have learned that Obama instituted combat
policies that are both very unpopular and , worse, extremely dangerous for our soldiers.
First, he
decided to withdraw from Iraq without finishing the job. Time will tell as to the impact of this
decision.
In Afghanistan,
Obama has put in place a capture
and release policy. If captured enemy
forces cannot be transferred to approve detention facilities within a 72 hour
period, they must be released. If our troops are ambushed near a residential
area, they are not permitted to call in
air support. American forces are no
longer permitted to interrogate the enemy.
Our soldiers are not permitted to fight “house to house” when the enemy
flees the battlefield to hide in nearby homes.
In some cases, we have rendered Miranda Rights. But, most telling of all, is the fact that the Command and Chief cannot
define “victory,” when asked, and has no intentions of winning the war on
the battlefield. In fact, he is currently trying to secure a “negotiated
peace,” (code for “surrender) as he
releases captured Taliban back onto the battlefield.
And to think,
Gallup does not understand the “why” attached to its survey.
