after being in the military for 8 years, and a disabled vet I understand quite a bit about the military. I know you cant just yank the military out, but you sure as heck can yank them out in 6 months. pbo has had more than that to bring the troops home.

In 50 years from now, Obama Care is going to be a household word. What kind of legacy do Republican presidents leave?
