To people in the military, how do you feel about your president?

I feel nothing.  If he was laying in the street, I'd step over him and say "excuse me" and keep walking.\n\nIndifference is worse than hate.

Yah I'm with you...almost. He is doing a wonderful job of economy/crime/edumacation all that...especially letting us keep our guns!!! \n\nBut we should have been more decisive in the middle east I think...but then again I am an average Joe and he's the president so perhaps he knows best. \n\nI mean we have all these armchair presidents at homes all over America but they're not the ones that can say one word and have the army do whatever. They don't have a Cabinet or advisors. Maybe they should start supporting our troops instead of crying about their armour. It's all show and no go for alotta people. \nTime to stand for something...please!

depends on the person. i am against the war completely, but some of my friends are for it. A few of my best friends are Marines and one of them is in Iraq right now.  We all agree that we disagree with the war and some of the President's decisions, but that does not affect our relationship at all. They respect my views as I respect theirs, and I definately have respect for all of our troops overseas.

6 years and counting SSG <--for almost 2 weeks. Hanging out in lovely Afghanistan with the rest of the guys and girls of OEF-7. Won't be home for Christmas... send Girl Scout Cookies...or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders?? Hey it's my fantasy leave me alone. HAHA\n\nI know we have all lost loved ones but there is a quote by Gen Patton that I like. If you don't like it please take no offense.\n\n"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."\n- General George S. Patton, Jr \n\nIf he were alive today I'm sure I would have said men and women.

It was a day to remember the sacrifices that ALL of our military personnel.. I give thanks to each of them, no matter what war. They are a hero in my eyes. I want to say.. Good job, Well done..

Please KNOW that you did NOT go in vain.. We love each and everyone of you.. \n\n{:-)\n\n<><

I have not lost a loved one but my son is serving in Iraq. If he died in this war I would protest the White House. Camp out on his lawn until he sees me and explains why?\n\nI do not believe this war to be just or right. We invaded another country without the UN behind us and without good justification. Losing my son would never be worth it. If I lost him in protecting our borders and our country from invasion that is different. \n\nI do not sleep well. But my sons destiny was always to go into the military and so I have supported him since he was 12 and decided to get in an Air Force Aux to start his life as a soldier. He has always connected to it. It was in his blood as God intended.\nHe serves all Americans with a happy heart. He does not agree with the war but he does what if expected. If he helps one soldier saves one life in Iraq it is worth it.\n\nHe is there for a reason.  The reason was to save many many lives, his whole squaron. He spent his first 6 months there transporting military equipment in caravans across Iraq. Did he tell me the constant Dangers, no, he knew I could not handle it and would never sleep a wink. Instead he did his duty. He lead his troops across enemy territory many times, not sleeping for 36 hours at time, just to make sure they were all safe. His bravery was relentless.\nHe comes home soon and is getting a Bronze Star for his bravery. I am proud not that he went to Iraq to invade their country but that my sons role was to save many soldiers lives. As an officer he did his job. And will he go back. I am sure he will do more that one tour. But God has a plan for him a destiny that he needs to fulfill. I will not stand in his way but I will worry no matter what. I love him.

I am totally against the war, however, people who join our military go in knowing that even if it's not necessarily a war they would back, they have comitted to doing their job.  I might also say that no matter what war or why - they have my absolute respect for being a part of a bigger picture that may cause them great harm or even death.  I salute all of them.  Bush, however, can kiss my flabbly butt.

I am a military wife and proud of my soldier.  He is deployed now.  Yeah we have lost people but those soldiers we have families who wish they were still with us.   you may not care about those who have fallen but i sure as hell do.  you need to remember what country you are in  before you go bashing those who is fighting for your freedom.

I served in Iraq and feel the same as I do now.  we are trying to do the right thing are are the only hope the Iraqi people have for a better future.\n\nSounds like you are another one of those clueless idiots who thinks that his political opinions means that he can tell me what I think.

I did not vote for George W. Bush. \nI do not share the religious or political views of Bush. \nI most certainly would not fight for Bush!\n\n(It so happens I have some health conditions that would make me unable to serve in the military -- not serious, but enough that I couldn't pass boot camp. But even if I didn't have these conditions, I still would not go to war for a man and a cause that I do not believe in).\n\nThat being said, I *do* support the men and women in our military who are overseas. Let's be clear on that -- I respect them greatly and I'm always thinking good thoughts for them. :) They had no choice in where they got sent, and if the truth were known, I'm sure many of them would rather not be in the Middle East either! But they'd face dishonorable discharge or even worse, if they tried to abandon the military.

Their are a lot of soldiers that do not agree with the war. As a soldier your opinion doesn't count.  Joining the military doesnt mean you have to agree with with any decision, you just have to do what you told. If that is not what you want then don't join. The only way your opinion counts is with your vote. Being in the military you are not allowed to discriminate your leadership. If you are the type of person that must say what you feel and its degrading in any way to your country or president please don't join. You must be willing to give up some freedom of speech to join. I was in the military and their is a lot i didn't agree with i just kept it to myself and served my country as Active duty Army. My husband is the same as me . I served a tour in Iraq and my husband is on his Second.  But you will see a lot of positive thing other don't see. It may even change you mind on some issues. Good luck i hope you make the right decision for yourself.

I don't like him, nor the way he's running the country, but I would not insult him to his face.  He is the elected leader of this country, my country, and I would give him respect.\n\nWhen I leave after meeting him, I would blog about what I really think of him.  But I will not disrespect him in public, not matter how much he deserves it.
