What type of political atmosphere do you think today's military has become?

As they say.... a picture is worth a thousand words...
(At least they're in formation...)

Historically, the military has supported those Presidents who respected service men and women. It matters not if they sent them in harm's way so long as they did so justly and supported them properly. Lincoln was such a President. He won reelection largely on the basis of votes cast by the Union Army. Reagan and George Bush (the younger) are greatly respected by the military (well, at least the vast majority of them. I know there will be individuals on RP that will take exception, but they know they are in the minority). Clinton didn't. His wife certainly doesn't which is why I don't expect she'll receive many votes from those who serve.

I think we are all mad. We don't have war leadership nor the respect from the politicians or many of the civilians
