In the coming few years, I predict the civilian American public (mainly from the extreme left), who constantly complain and think of themselves as brilliant back-seat Generals and strategic planners, will get an earful in the other direction from military folks who are simply fed up.

Free speech goes both ways. We take an oath to the Constitution. That doesn't mean we have to shut up.

Gitmo was the last straw for me.

So go ahead and keep whining Durbin's of the planet.

The President is the Commander in Chief.

"F.U."

You are a class act Mike. Is F.U. the college you didnt go to? You are just too stupid to understand nuance. People can have divergent views Private Mike even when they agree on the threat. Who made you Eisenhower anyway? Thank God you never attained that kind of power because if we disagreed you, would have us all shot.

"The military serves voluntarily. They want you, who do nothing, to gather up and support their efforts.
If instead, you plan to criticize them, they are prepared to let you defend yourself."

Whether it is voluntary or not the Military is controlled by the Civilain. They dont get to choose who they defend. They defend us all. And Thank God for that.
