What will Obama do to our military?

Question

This election could hurt our military stand point big time. What do you think Obama will do to our military forces?

Answer 1

He is going to abandon missile defense and surrender in Iraq.  These cuts will be around a 100 billion +.  A smaller force with less money, you feel safer yet?

Answer 2

Questions and answers like these are part of what is wrong with this country.  There is a lack of Govt education in this country.  The President does not have the authority to increase or decrease the military size or its equipment or bases.  This all requires an Act of Congress and the Presidents signature which the Senate can then override.  Congress has the sole authority to increase the military or downsize it.

People go back to school and take classes in government and learn how the Legislative system works in this country.

Answer 3

Support them properly. This administration has screwed them and mcCain has consistently voted against our military. He has a D rating with the military. Obama not only wants to have them fully prepared and protected, he also doesn't want to send them in harms way unnecessarily. he also wants to protect them and care for them upon return.

EDIT: where is your evidence for that? Current soldiers are contributing to Obama's campaign in a 6:1 margin over McCain.

McCain Rating From Disabled American Veterans Not The Highest To Begin With, Has Fallen Precipitously Since 1999. McCain's rating started at 66% in 1999, but has fallen to just 20% by 2006. In 2004 and 2005, it was 50% and 25%, respectively. [Interest group ratings, Votesmart.org, 7/7/2008, http://votesmart.org/issue_rating_catego... ]



McCain Rating From Disabled American Veterans Was 20% in 2006. John McCain voted in support of legislation identified as important by the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) only 20% of the time in 2006.

McCain Given "D" Score from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans for America. McCain got a 20 percent rating from the Disabled Veterans of America and a "D" rating from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans for America. [Palm Beach Post, 8/3/08]

Answer 4

cut spending, development, and try and get rid of our nukes. he said so himself, look it up on youtube. h**l probably also shrink it just as bill clinton did

Answer 5

The military will be torn apart and sent to h**l if Obama gets elected.

Answer 6

Amazing how you say 9-1 soldiers vote McCain but the election hasn't even happened...lol. Don't go off of any flawed polls you see. On my base, its about 20-1 in favor of Obama. I am not saying who I am in favor of, just plainly stating that all these polls are bs. I don't see how this is "getting personal" about anything....I am just stating that the polls are all flawed.

Answer 7

Turn them all into flower-frolicking socialist carefree loving robots that will go out and spread messages of world peace, love, and joy to third world countries =]
