1. He's all over the place.....

I mean, I respect the guy and his opinions but he seems to be advocating complete isolation.

2. Blowing up a garbage truck full of children will do that to a person.

4. Ya, I suppose so....

He does seem rather tortured. Well, I disagreed with several things he said but I respect him and his service. I hope he does well in his life.

6. Obama is no friend of the veteran?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Are fucking kidding me?!?!?

...Uh ...you do know who WOULD be president right now if Obama lost right? I can understand why this veteran is upset and I find it relieving in the best way that there are troops out there that think we should pull ALL our troops back HOME; it's a gigantic breath of fresh air of humanity that this country needs to be rescued from the hate/fear doctrine of the "Reich" wing but I voted for Obama because his policy, although imperfect, is by far better than McCain's on Iraq and privatized war. I love and respect men like this who have sacrificed so much but couldn't we offer constructive criticism WITHOUT dealing in lies and absolution like, "Obama is no friend to the veteran". This guy did some research but how about going all the way; among any number of pro-veteran/pro-soldier legislation, how about the GI Bill?; find out who opposed and who proposed THAT.

9. He's good compared to McCain, and certainly compared to Bush

But anyone who wants to make more veterans in a purely elective war, is no friend of veterans. And I'm sorry, but keeping that many troops in Iraq, escalating Pakistan? Well, let's just say that I wish he'd reconsider.

10. I wish he'd reconsider too but...

...lets just say I'll take a short timeline and a remaining 50,000 remaining troops over an indefinite to nonexistent removal date and more privatized colonialism. It's called progress and it takes time. Who knows? Maybe someday we'll end our absurd empirical profiteering.

7. McCain was hellbent on starting a war with Iran...

and Obama means too avoid that awfulness. And, that is great news for veterans, and for those who for that reason will not have to become dead or maimed veterans.

8. That title is Bullshit..

Obama is the best friend the Veterans and the military have had in long time.
