Soldiers Branded Mercenaries

[Hoss]

If you think the military is strongly against Obama, they sure had a funny way of showing it in 2008. Obama outraised McCain by a 6-to-1 margin in donations from the military.

I'd have to think there's still some strong support there.

But, to be perfectly honest, had McCain (well, not McCain, but his handlers) not chosen "The Quitter" as his running mate and chosen Liebermann, he might have gotten more donations.  Note I say might...it was awfully late in the game when the Veep hopefuls were disclosed.

Just using logic.

1. I think McChristal was wrong.  He was subordinate, and he deserved to get canned. 

2. His sentiment is guaranteed to exist with other commanders and soldiers (perhaps even a small minority). 

3. Media will attempt to root this out.  No doubt.  Blood is in the water.

4. Administration will be forced to react.

5. Liberals will, rather than place the blame on Obama's leadership, place blame on a "culture" within the military.

6. This will create an image of a military outside of civilian control.  A mercenary military.

That's the logic.  I am willing to bet we have more reports within a week or so.  There will probably be the formation of a "blue-ribbon panel" to investigate allegations of subordination.

I think you need to lay off the Bud Light Limes and get some rest.
