“According to the independent Army Times, America’s troops are voting today for President Bush by a margin of over four to one. Our troops know firsthand President Bush is courageously leading the successful fight against the terrorists in the Global War on Terrorism. He is the commander in chief to trust with their lives." The 4:1 active military vote for GWB is far more than a Bush/Kerry comparison. It also reaffirms the troops' committment to the entire military chain of command. With this vote, our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines are saying to the rest of us...Hey! We believe in the missions; We have what we need; We are succeeding. Most importantly, this vote should tell us the troops believe in their leaders and want them to remain in charge of all future military operations. All military members swear the following oath, "I, _____, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." Our military has sworn to defend us. They have offered to lay down their lives if necessary to keep the rest of us free and safe. They are sending us a clear message about who they trust to lead them in to the battles ahead. Forget about toothbrushes and razor blades. In this context, "Support The Troops" has an entirely new meaning. unclewest
