Obama/Military Rift

There is an article in the Army Times about a perceived apprehension within the ranks of the military about Obama taking over as Commander in Chief. You can find the original article or follow my title link to a rant about it in The Huffington Post.

The Army Times piece is pretty despicable. First they infer that the majority of Army personnel have misgivings about the new President, then they get all warm and fuzzy about how comfortable they have been with the leadership of George Bush. Neither of these things is demonstrable, even from their own survey, which they admit, halfway through the article is not representative of the Army as a whole, but leans to senior service members.

To stir up controversy as to the level of support that the duly elected President is likely to receive from the military is irresponsible.

At least Obama won't invade two sovereign nations so that he can be reelected as a War President.

Have we caught Osama Bin Laden yet?
