You can't? Guess you haven't seen the movie 2016: Obama's America.
I'm thinking BO will not only lose the military majority but he's going to lose the vote of a whole lot of defense contractors and a lot of Defense Department civilian workers. If the race is tight on Election Night, and Virginia, despite all of those federal government workers in Northern Virginia, goes back to being red, you'll know.
Why do you think the Dems try to impede the overseas military vote?
How are the Dems trying to impede the overseas military vote?
Every time I go to the VA Hospital to get care, and there are many times that I do, I regularly see a large number of young men and women getting quality care for their injuries. I can remember not so long ago, it was a great deal more difficult for those people to be treated for a number of issues. Yes, I thank Obama and his Admin for getting changes to start happen more rapidly for the Vets that deserve to have that care.
I agree that one promise that President Obama kept was full funding for the VA system.
It is one thing to have to cut back on various Federal programs to try to get the deficit under control, it is quite another to do it on the backs of those members (and ex-members) of the military who require health care for service-connected disabilities.
Of course they will mostly support R/R. Who wants to support a CiC that made them sitting ducks and got more of them killed then Bush did?
Really? so he uses drones more than any president as a means to keep them at the war but not in harms way. It was the R that brought us the war and BO is simply making it a better chance to accomplish something, other than making Cheney's stock options.
The average monthly casualty rate for U.S. military forces serving in Afghanistan has increased 5-fold since President Barack Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009.
1,540 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since Oct. 7, 2001, when U.S. forces began fighting in that country to oust the Taliban regime that had been harboring al Qaeda and to track down and capture or kill al Qaeda terrorists.
During the Bush presidency, which ended on Jan. 20, 2009 with the inauguration of President Obama, U.S. troops were present in Afghanistan for 87.4 months and suffered 570 casualties—a rate of 6.5 deaths per month.
During the Obama presidency, through today, U.S. troops have been present in Afghanistan for 29.1 months and have suffered 970 casualties—a rate of 33.3 deaths per month.
