6. Speaking as a former enlisted person...
A lot of active duty personnel feel like they have been sold down the river by the democrats to win an election.. as I am sure we are all aware, up until the economy finally caught up with itself, the main topic was the war in Iraq. While opinions may differ on the war, troops are still there. What most don't understand is that the care they are provided after they serve.. SUX.. for me.. when I was active duty.. my time was Desert Storm - Desert Shield.. I lived for the here and now.. didn't spend too much time looking down the road. If I had known then what I know now.... I think this will "image" of uncertainty with our troops will pass. Everyone just needs a little time to adjust and Obama seems to be decisive and that's a very important quality to someone that serves.
