Mark,
Have you served in the military? If not, how can you compare your sentiment to the sentiment of a soldier?

That was much more impressive before the Powell endorsement.

Obama has never served in the military, and he is poised to be the commander in chief. If, according to you, we cannot even have an opinion on military issues without first having served in the military, how can you support a person who never served to be the commander in chief?

"Swill"? What will you do if Obama wins this election? I am guessing you will be upset. I wish I could watch your reaction.Brad, If Obama wins, I will be glad to send you my picture along with my military record. How's that?

I think because there is no comparison to a white collar pencil pusher and the experience and memories left from someone serving in the Armed Forces.
Sitting in the Oval Office is not that hard... its just a room,.... sitting in a Humvee getting shot at in another country by terrorisst with fully automatic weapons is quite a bit more dangerous.
He is stating that if you want to run and oversee the Military that you should have some experience to have a deeper understanding of what goes on... cause the military sure aint Bill Murray in "Stripes"

I have two combat tours as an infantryman, I am now discharged because my injuries nearly crippled me (I will probably need a cane to walk by the time I'm 50) and going to college full time and working full time. I vehemently disagree with this video. In essence, he's saying that it's wrong to call Iraq a mistake because that disrespects soldiers. Logic can't get much more flawed than that. I know you guys probably don't need it spelled out for you, but that is like saying all wars are OK, because soldiers sacrifice and are noble. HOGWASH.

FDR and Abraham Lincoln had no military experience, and they are widely considered our nations best presidents. Each of them led us through a very significant war.

Not true! Lincoln commanded infantry militia during the blackhawk wars, FDR was Asst Sect. of the navy WWI.Though being a bureaucrat doesnt make a veteran FDR was not a thorough amatuer.
