All of these surveys are premature and mean almost nothing with 4 mos. to go.

Wanna bet?

Spare me the "stop wasteful spending" speech until you stop sending me and my son to Iraq.

No one sent you anywhere you didn't volunteer to go, dude.

What a disgusting and uninformed response. Most likely someone who never served his country.
Signing up in the military isn't volunteering to go fight an unjust war over a lie. Hardly something to volunteer for.
I can see why you are so disliked here.

Actually, it is I who have doubts about your service.
Iraq has been ongoing far longer than any enlistment period.
Your syntax has the feel of English as a second language.
Most in the military heartily reject that "unjust war over a lie" crap, kept on reenlisting, and voting Bush.
Hans is an uncommon name here.
Icould go on- my service included some time as an investigator for the 82nd Airborne Division, btw. I'm pretty good at spotting phonies.

I served with 2/8 United States Marine Corps Marine Amphibious Ready Group and my son is in the Arizona National Guard currently serving in Kuwait and running the highway of death.

I don't need to verify anything with anyone. But since you so graciously asked what unit I served in...

Oh and like so many others here, Hans isn't my name. It's a take off on the term Hand Cuffs. Most people get that.
My real name is Mike.

That opinion is unsupported by fact. The military is using "stop loss" and the national guard to even maintain enough troops to support the "sand box". The only reason that the military is claiming that enlistments are meeting quotas is because the quotas have been lowered.

Now that Obama is cinC, I have no reason to doubt that. Everyone knew re-enlistments would crater if/when he was elected.

Especially since it had already been happening thanks to Rumsfeld overextending tours.

Yeah but it's probably "leftist liberal lies" you know... or the "socialist left wing liberal media"...

Once again you display your ignorance of the topic.
Do you only open your mouth to change feet?
