My god, how many people in the military that we can we depend on to do their duty. Liberals don’t obey orders; they do their own thing. Liberals are not qualified to be in the service.

Not when the lives of their shipmates are on the line. In fact my out of the box thinking earned me 3 letters from the commands.

Honestly this thread should not be politicized as Gunny said....all veterans and those currently serving should be respected regardless of whether they are liberal or conservative.

Thank you for your service.
