thousands of our military are as pleased as I am with the results.

The military hates game playing.

The active duty responses I've read indicate they feel like their government is playing a game and they are the ball getting kicked around.

This political game was an enormous mistake. War is not a game to those on the front lines.

Like Clinton's crew (and Kerry's), the current crop of dumb demos have succeeded in making some military members feel like suckers. I predict huge repercussions. These men won't demonstrate loudly as the pols do. They will vote with their feet... silently.

Watch the reenlistment numbers over the next six months. I predict a significant drop and it will be directly attributable to a feeling of lack of mission support.

Nobody wants to be the last soldier killed in a war in which their government surrenders.
