You can't talk about Obama having disdain without asking who put these kids in harms way to begin with.
BTW, Obama is trying to get rid of the damage done by Bush breaking treaties with other countries.
You talk about Obama's disdain when he's trying to mend relationships that Bush destroyed.
Well, applying that logic, we might as well eliminate "topics" in their entirity and collapse the entire "Political discussion forum" into one single thread!!
"Distain" would be starting a draft, in my opinion. You know, more cannon fodder to keep the war marching, chugging, choking, spewing blood. Some people want that. Withdrawal scares the pants off some people. The US "face saving" reflex has grown tiresome.

The only thing I see that could even remotely be considered showing disdain towards the military is his not issuing a plan of action and providing troops and materials needed to carry out the plan for Afghanistan or pulling the troops out of Afghanistan entirely. All I want him to do is one or the other. Either is better than leaving the troops in the field with no plan and no additional supplies or troops.
This claim has been made on the "Fort Hood" thread and I am interested in exploring it.
Clarification: I am not looking for evidence such as "Bush obviously has terrible disdain for them because he sent them to die in a stupid war..." etc. etc.
Rather, I am looking for specific examples of disrespectful actions and words.
For example, he has clearly exhibited disdain for American religion (the horribly condescending clinging to "guns and religion" remark)
Please stick to providing facts and analysing them, not "rhetoric" (partisan name-calling on both sides).
Thank you!
Not as much disdain as I get from self proclaimed Patriots on this board
