I grew up under a Democrat roof. I entered the service in 1988. I was oblivious to the world and why we need foreign policy. I can say I am a Republican as of 1990. The worst of my 20 years of service were under Clinton. If I coulda retired I woulda gave it up then. I can retire now, and without a doubt if Obama is elected I'll drop papers the next day.
I'm sitting in the desert right now for my 10th deployment and I'll end up with 6 years 4 months of my 20 years is the sand box. The troops despite what the liberals and liberal media want you believe know why we are here and are proud of our mission and our accomplishments. Most America don't see or understand the big picture nor will Obama because he won't come see for himself. Troops dying and bombs going off sell. I can go on for days about the pluses, but they don't sell; people have re-established businesses; women can walk the streets; schools were built by the military and boys and girls are getting educated; the majority of people love us and the US. Most city streets are quiet and are filled with hundreds of locals, where 2 years ago they were empty.
I guarantee no matter who wins we'll be here for the long haul. The Liberal call to withdraw our troops is just to get a vote. They will not have the balls to pull us out, because the bad guys will be on our door step. They are coming anyway, but they'll get there easier and faster if we fail here. Clinton took us to Kosovo and said "we'll be out in 12 months". Sorry to tell ya we're still there. We're still in Germany, Japan, Korea, and a ton more places the average citizen has no idea about. Why would we leave Iraq or Afghanistan? Didn't we learn better to occupy than re-deploy. Old school I know, but it still holds true.
I have hundreds but here is my last thought. The economy is sh!t. Even though the liberals will cut the military to a useless response force your kids will need a job. This job comes with medical, education, and a guaranteed pay check. Better watch it or your child will end up here dealing with the scum you want to leave alone, just like the first Gulf war when so many reservist and guardsmen cried they signed up for school, not to really Defend our Country from all Enemies Foreign and Domestic. I almost feel the Dems are Domestic Terrorists. Why will we not drill our own recourses and allow China to sit off our coast and take it? Why not build more refineries? Why not build more nuclear power plants? I'm all for developing more green ways and getting off our foreign dependency. Aren't You? Why cripple America because you can when we have the resources to sustain our own until technology and cost efficiency catches up.
