The conjob is quitting his career because of Obama, and all you notice is people blaming bush?
Did you even read the OP?
there does seem to be a bit of a disconnect.
Yes there does.
The OP said he is fed about serving under someone whose politics he disagrees with. That is something that anyone who has served can understand, because they never get the politics right as far as the rank and file military are concerned. That is the reason the military stays out of politics, and actively discourages its members from speaking about politics, especially if they carry the additional burden of being an officer.
Conhog gritted his teeth through 20 years of service, and has been deployed 3 times. The National Guard responds to national disasters, not wars. If your house was under water and you were stranded on the roof you would be glad to see him and his unit, so would rdean, yet he chose to spew his hatred of Bush just because Conhog finally got fed up with being deployed to war zones and the border of our country simply because it is politically expedient and makes whoever is in the oval office look good.
Do you realize that men and women who are in uniform and serving their country are not supposed to have political thoughts? They are supposed to simply obey orders and risk their lives, all for people who seem to think they are expendable. The fact that he managed to stick it out for 20 years says a lot about his character, whatever you think about his opinions.
I thought about arguing him out, but I realized that it is none of my business, and said so. We don't have the right to question why he served under Bush and is retiring now. He also served under Clinton, so it is not because he hates Democrats. He is choosing to put his family ahead of his country for the first time in 20+ years. He deserves respect for that decision, and for choosing to go the other way for the last 20 years. That is the hardest part about being in the military.
All those words for something I can summarize in three
You're a moron!!
You got caught being a hypocrit, and so you're offering a million bs excuses for why it's OK when conjob does it.
