From the article, "But recent polls make clear that the president’s campaign is losing the battle. Even as Obama leads in Colorado, Florida, Ohio and Virginia, Mitt Romney is up by double digits among veterans in those states. Nationwide, he’s got a commanding 20-percentage-point lead over Obama and has even overtaken the president with younger veterans."[LEFT]

Not to mention the downsizing and decreasing benefits. I see more "Where is the Birth Certificate" bumpers stickers on base than I do Obama bumper stickers.
We are an extended Military family - active duty, veterans, no one supports what Obama is doing to the military right now.
Army Times polls show Obama does not have the support of the Military.
During the Iraq war there was record numbers of enlistments re-enlistments and veteran's volunteering to do multiple tours in Iraq.
Many don't like the idea the victory was never declared, no one every signed a treaty surrendering. Obama just quit.
They feel all there brethren died in vain.
Many veterans got out when they could because of all the new ROE's, which tied their hands from killing the enemy and getting killed themselves.

Because apparently people use it as welfare.
You know, like the family business: job training, free ride with rent, education, health care, reduced food costs, etc.
Because we're broke and all citizens need to pick up the slack.
Why are we broke? Perhaps too large a military.
Why free benefits? Everyone else in the US pays for health care and don't you fight against universal care?
So, someone doing a job that is assigned to them is NOT doing anything and is NOT earning things you describe?
Why are you paid? Do you get sick pay, vacations, does your employer contribute to your retirement and health care costs?
Indeed ... Dat cdf bloke has spoken ! And dat iz dat ! ..... Ain't no second thang bout it y'all !
Vets for MITZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ! Yep ! ....... I jest can't waits ta vote ! HARRRRRR !
Ta Ta ... Ole Sgt. Lamar
I'd like to ask a question. Why is it you never engage in conversation but only post a "cheer" for someone else's post? Are you really just a cheerleader, or do you have opinions of your own you could contribute?
WHY do YOU support Romney, and why do YOU think Vets support Romney and by what percentage? Romney never served in the military. In fact, he managed to not have to serve in Vietnam. I find it confusing that Vets would support someone like Romney, who, according to his age, would have been eligible for the draft during the Vietnam War but rather managed to do missionary work in France when others his age were being drafted to go fight.

In what branch did Obama serve during the first Gulf war, or even Granada? What was Obamas contribution to society? Why do a lot of vets support Romney? It could be that Obama cut hazerdous duty pay for service members in a war zone unless they are assigned to direct conflict. It doesn't matter that your base is hit with rocket fire on a daily basis. If you are not assigned to a unit that goes into direct combat, you don't get paid. Why do you think that Obamas Justice department has tried to suppress the vote of military personel? Appropriations which were already minimal at best at the VA were cut, while Solyndra was handed a kings ransom as payoff. The list goes on, but yeah, a lot of us vets are not too pleased with Obama.
Actually, they do.
I shop commissaries and I see it every day.
They also buy cigarettes, coffee and other items that they shouldn't buy (using the same insane logic as others).
If cigarettes, coffee and whatever other items that they shouldn't buy, is that just your opinion?? I would think that if such items were taboo why are they being sold? Who does the purchasing for the commissary? I'm sure you enjoy the discounts afforded to you by the US government, especially when you head home with your bags of commissary goodies.
If you find it so disturbing to see how YOUR money is being spent by those who serve in the military, go find a job where it would make your life a bit more comfortable seeing as how tightly wound up you are. I find it disturbing that you get paid with taxpayer money to work behind a counter, yet you have such contempt for those that serve our country and are willing to put their lives on the line.
