Default Obama and the U.S. Military

So whats the buzz on what BHO is going to do with the military? I am active duty and haven't heard much. I can only speculate from the Clinton era and thats not good. I guess it will go back to the military needing food stamps and WIC. Makes me sick!

I've been in over 11 years and thought it was going to be a career and retire at 44. Think I may cut ties at the end of thiscontractand become a fry cook and let Obama take care of my family.

All ive read was that he was planning on pulling out troops in waves. Other than that, I'm not sure..

No worry. "Troops" in American have been relegated to the same status of the American farmer...a god-like position which represents all that is pure and wholesome.

I would think that what we'll see will transpire mostly in the way of funding cuts and the curtailing and dismantling of certain nuclear warfare components. It will be lauded as American becoming "nicer."

He better keep them fully funded if he keeps up the tough talk about going into Pakistan if necessary.

You haven't heard much but you are considering getting out? Thank you for your service but please don't over-react to rumors.

We will be out of Iraq, and the war in Afghanistan will be the war in Pakistan.
