The ANTI-OBAMA MARINES

[Danno 1,228]

Anyone ever seen a headline like this in a military magazine..... while troops are in the field?

DON"T ASK DON"T TELL is coming home to roost.

MARINES AGAINST OBAMA? COVER OF MARINE TIMES LEADS WITH STORY ON OPPOSITION

The Obama administration’s thorny relationship with the Marines, especially in the wake of decisions like the one to end “Don‘t Ask Don’t Tell,” appears to have just gotten much more thorny. Buzzfeed notes the cover of a magazine devoted to Marine Corps issues, which should make several Obama administration operatives nervous:

The Washington Examiner has a story summarizing the article, as well as a video previewing it. Both follow:

According to the article, of the 792 active-duty troops and mobilized reservists who responded to this year’s Military Times Poll, 44 percent said that they disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job as commander in chief.

The article cites hot button issues such as repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” relaxing restrictions of women in combat, and steep budget cuts, behind the disapproval numbers.

The report highlights the recent controversy over a Tea Party Facebook page operated by active Marine Sgt. Gary Stein.

The full article is available only to Marine Times subscribers.

Some blunt things badly need to be said here, but it's unclear whether we are being Watched or Monitored.

They can watch and monitor me all they want.

Get the troops home now. All troops scattered all over the world. Let THEM handle their own problems. Obama earn the Nobel Peace for once. Try and be a leader for once. Also no more aid to any country outside our own Hemisphere.

Warmongers.
