Imagine your son in the military out there fighting and there is shortage of military equipment and support.
You can't go in the middle of war, then the soldier's communications equipment breaks and there is no replacement.
Or there is not enough medicine for the troops that are hurt.
The morale of the soldiers will just go to the pits if the USA sends them out to war without logistics support and they have to wait for days, weeks and months to get support and replacement for equipment.

That's called suicide.
No, he wasn't.

I wonder if the democrats will once again show their support for our troops and try to discard the overseas votes. Of course this will be in replacement of stuffing the ballot with phony votes for Obama. How low can you go?

If you read the original article on MilitaryTimes.com, you'll see that its not a scientific poll (which means you can't really call it a poll).

At the same time, for months its been well known that when it comes to military donations, Obama is the clear winner over McCain.

Here in Italy, I'm in contact with lots of US military people at the nearby base and its about 50-50 among officers and 60-40 in favor of Obama among enlisted. I wish I could count the number of them who said they've been Republican for years but just can't vote GOP this year.
