Don't really see Obama is "pushing" it. His admin is involved in talks, as well they should be.

He won't get fast track authority, nor can anyone show he actually wants it. At some point, if he comes out "pushing" a genuinely "crappy" trade deal, I'll jump on the trash Obama bandwagon. At this point, I don't think he's sold us down the river as some insinuate.

That's what I'm saying, unless military was going to take him seriously, he had no choice

but to put up with it, or walk off. His buddies didn't like him, his superior offered him nothing when he asked about leaving sensitive equipment. I think he was so despondent that he decided getting killed by Taliban was no worse than putting up with killing Afghans and staying among the gung-ho "dog-tags."

Heck, they never should have taken him in Army after he was discharged from Coast Guard.
