Cheney closed more military bases and reduced the numbers of of our miltary forces. And speaking of doing well, you obviously must be a rich republican because nobody else has prosperer during the past eight(8) years. To Vegas- what history are you talking about?

That speaks volumes about who cares more about the troops.

McCain is a new bush, we need a president who is willing to attempt diplomacy instead of rattling sabers. McCain and other full time warriors must learn that peace is often negotiated.

Think about it. Would you as a combat exposed vet back , McCain? ? He's a military-educated, quick -tempered, Bush-hugging advocate of more of the same,...... arrogant, and incompetent, war mongering ? Bob Brady's Bend, PA Jack,

When Obama toured Iraq and Europe he showed what a powerful foreign relations person he is. That means a lot to to those serving our country wherever they're stationed. John McCain is so hung up on his own experiences and "superior" knowledge that he doesn't listen to anyone but himself.

There are many who want to continue to fight even after being wounded, and they continue to re enlist to finish the fight. I don't know if that means they are voting for Obama because they want to come home, or they are just young and want a youger man they can identify with as president.
