Jesus Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Captain Jeff is being paid to do a job assigned to him and now he's upset that he didn't get a personal pat on the head. Obama probably has every minute of every day planned out in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops Racer Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'd just as soon vote for an ordinary citizen with a clue as apposed to career pols that are owned by cash. Purge the Congress of lawyers and elites, and let the common man make the decisions. The problem with Big Gov is that it doesn't trust it's employers.

Pops Racer Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Id vote for you now I'd consider it, but it would seriously cut into my fishing and drinking time!! And you'd have to be my VP. Of pron. I'd have to move the White House to my lakeside trailer, and the press would complain because there is no air -conditioning. And the'yd have to drink beer and eat hot dogs the whole time they were there, with no napkins. Plus, I'm not that eloquent, I would have a hard time expressing myself without getting grumpy about it.And I'm an old white guy. Ironman for Prexxy!!

Obama probably has every minute of every day planned out in advance.I don't think he was looking for a pat on the head. I think he is implying that Obama is afraid of what he'll hear from the guys on the line. The truth about how they feel and what they think should be done.

Purge the Congress of lawyers and elites, and let the common man make the decisions. The problem with Big Gov is that it doesn't trust it's employers......blah blah blah indeed. U sound like a republican (which's fair) and I wonder the credibility of one soldier's opinion out of the multitude in Afghanistan. Not all will like Obama; doesn't mean U sir, should magnify on one soldier's comment. What's worse is that U stated your biased opinion about Obama in your first post (b4 posting the letter) trying to sway others opinion? or........? U are entitled to your opinion, doesn't mean you shuld scream 'bloody murder' trying change others. Impose YOUR campaign run at the voting booth not VS.PS: I'm a 'youngster' in uniform too and I've seen the turmoils of war. It's a new age we live in Old sir; war is no more the solution.

It's a new age we live in Old sir; war is no more the solution.Glad you have an opinion me, but I would like your opinion of the situation and the candidate. As I posted this email the news channels burst with similar stories about Obama. What theater did you serve in? What is your opinion of the situation? This an all volunteer army in th U.S., what was your motivation for enlisting? You must have realized there was a chance you would be im a combat zone, why did you enlist if you have a problem with the way you have been deployed by the U.S.? These are the questions I would ask soldiers if I was Mr. Wonderfull. Yeah, I am a Republican, but if you read all my posts inn this thread, you would also know that they don't satisfy my political position, if you will. I am much more of a constitutional conservative. Now that my political position is open for the world to see, where do you stand young man?PS blah blah blah is not a rebuttal. And my opinion was not ment to sway. If my opinion sways others, I would be disappointed in there political aptitude and not take there position seriously. I have yet to come across another soldiers opinion about Obamas behavior to the contrary. I'll leave that task to you. Find a counter position and magnify it to your hearts content, and we will deabte their motive and position, and maybe slander him/ or her as my subject was.Pardon my spelling, I can't find my glasses this morning, I'm an old white guy don't forget! And don't tell me what to post on VS. This is a political forum created for posts such as mine. If you don't like what you read, log off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krato'R' Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 MR.CLETUS?I apologize for criticizing you on what to post on VS, it was not my place. Much respect.Now to the topic @ hand: Like many others, I joined z Army for the tuition assistance in July 2001….but I never discounted the possibilities of war; I braced myself for it. I served in Germany and Kosovo too. I must tell you, stitching up injured soldiers is saddening; not to talk of bagging the many dead. I certainly won’t wish that for your kid; for him to suffer for no cause at the false expense of protecting this country (even we both agree the Iraq war is a mistake) As for the Obama, I know little about his other agendas but his take on US military – which affects me the most. He advocated for 3 major war strategies of which McCain and Bush finally agreed upon. Those were proof enough that change is not so bad. My politico stance? U be the judge; I’ve been labeled many. You, in your infinite wisdom a la age should know you cannot satisfy everyone i.e CPT Porter. During his tour, Obama might have shunned a few and welcomed many OR vice versa. Regardless of the fact, the many biased ppl (who choose not to measure both sides of a situation) will always complain – it’s called ‘feeding the id’. Old Man, Military, Republican, eh? You watch FOX news only? You’re prolly a war advocate like McCain (who wants to stay in Iraq for 100yrs), no? I leave you with 2 quotes to ponder upon. I say again, it’s a new age, let’s show proof of our (psychological) evolution. Shallom……Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die. And it is youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow and the triumphs that are the aftermath of war - Herbert Hoover."I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in." - George McGovern.
