I don't think the military is any more monolithic than the American public....Among the officer corps there is a great deal of skepticism....but its too early for anyone in any part of our society to have made any final judgments about BHO.

The military loathes Obama"....LOL...you are such a comedian...LOL...no sooner you make a statement of "absolute fact" that the actual facts bite you in your bottom end.

That's right. They hate him so much they had to pay each soldier to go in that room and cheer him and take photos with their cell and look all excited and happy. Oh wait.....I misread the article.....it turns so many soldiers wanted to see Obama they had to charge admission......that's right, 10 bucks a head. ;-)
