5. Pay no attention to the Republicon Chickenhawks and their campaign against America
They gave us an AWOL fail freak for 8 years, backed by a VP clown with 5 freaking military deferments. So Republicon chickenhawk advice on the military is less than inconsequential -- they get it all from their leader Rush "Ass-pimple-Deferment' Limbaugh, their beloved, $30-million-a-year Draft Dodging propagandist hero & drug abuser.

4. Yes, clearly a staged photo-op rather than a genuine outpouring of support.
:sarcasm:


Amazing how freeps would wet themselves at the sight of Dick Cheney (5 deferments).

8. Even more strange since
they still get limpbaugh piped into their heads..right?

I'm guessing word has gotten out in spite of that that Pres Obama really cares about them and the VETS.

12. you missed the point ...
that short red-haired Secret Service agent to Obama's left was valiantly putting his life on the line holding back the soldiers trying to tear apart the Communist Socialist Nazi Pretender ...
