    Its refreshing to see a person who is close to becoming president speak that way about our nation. with pride and love for his nation, and to realize he is being truthful about it.

    Why is it amazing for military cadets to approve of a speech calling for a strong military? Did you expect something else of them?

    More importantly, how relevant is it to a discussion on military spending and readiness? Why does he accuse Obama of being soft on the military? He hasn't cut funding for it. He sent troops to Afghanistan. His national security team killed bin Laden and a tremendous number of militants through drone strikes: more in his two years than Bush did in eight.

    I don't see his position as helpful or honest.

    Not helpful or honest ?
    really?

    like how not ? ..Is he going to say later he hates the troops and wants us to be more like France ?

    That would be more progressive and Paul like.

    Conservatives and most Americans are on board with Romney .

    Yes, really. Is it really helpful to lie about Obama's record? Is that presidential? He should say that the president has done a fine job, and under a Romney administration he would continue to do a fine job. Even better, in fact. But to act like Obama has been weak in areas of military, national security, or the war on terror is completely dishonest.


    Most Americans are on board with Romney? Interesting that Obama still beats him in most polls.

    End of the Gaddafi regime?

    Another disingenuous lie.

    He didn't send 30,000 troops to Afghanistan?

    His administration didn't kill Osama bin Laden?

    He hasn't ordered more drone strikes in two years than Bush did in eight?

    He hasn't killed more high level militants in two years than Bush did in eight?

    He hasn't presided over more deportations in one term than Bush did in two?

    That isn't a record? If Bush had done any of that you would praise him for it.

    Completely misguided. They're probably mindless Rightists blinded by their irrational hatred of everything about Obama like yourself.

    Do I have to ask you again to stop saying I hate anyone. I don't hate Obama. I disagree with his policies.

    Iraq is all but wound down. The soldiers left there are in an advisory role and are there at the request of the Iraqi government.

    He never said that about Afghanistan. He said, in fact, that the mission should be completed there.

    Gitmo is impossible to close. No one will take the prisoners and US politicians don't want them here.

    He ordered the military to follow the law on interrogations, not end them entirely.


    So, pray tell, what has he done to weaken the military?

    I'll stop saying when you either:

    A) stop giving Obama (*)(*)(*)(*) for zero reason and bringing him up with a disparaging remark in every single thread you post in.

    Or

    B) stop saying that people who defend Obama in bull(*)(*)(*)(*) threads like this one "love Obama".

    Do either of those and my claim that you hate Obama will stop.

    for zero reason?

    he got us into another war
    has spent trillions
    added 4 trillion to the national debt
    screwed the economy even worse.

    I could go on and on, love when you sit there and make it like Obama has done everything right and is a golden boy.

    its pathetic you have to lie about how members on these forums feel though to get your point across

    why do you hate the military?
