Well there you have it. It is no mistake that MASH was a liberal favorite, and some of the actors of that series are some of the more vocal extreme left liberals out there. The theme of MASH was consistantly anti war and anti military.

I would not classify military medical workers' political opinions as characterizing in any way that of most of our troops and sailors.

It is understandable, as they deal with the ravages of war on a daily basis, and understandably abhor war. However, it remains very true that to maintain peace you must prepare for war. The liberals would have us fall short in that category, and that philosophy will invite attack by our enemies. Witness al Qaeda'...

The point is you tried to refute my contention that our troops would not respect, or support a political candidate who represents the far left liberal wing that has consistently betrayed them, undermined them, endangered them, and stabbed them in the backs at every opportunity, from the lowliest private to - in their own words - "Betray Us" Gen. Petraeus.

In doing so, you made a far reaching claim that most of "the soldiers you have talked to" will support Hussein Obama. There is not scientific methodology in your claim, and the sample you present seems to me to be skewed by their very profession and military role.

I can make the same claim, as the soldiers I communicate with are ...

I can make the same claim, as the soldiers I communicate with are ALL for McCain and wouldn't afford Hussein Obama a modicum of sweat from their testicles. But I don't claim that to be a statistical fact, just my circle of friends and acquaintences.

I opine the majority hold this view, and it is nothing but my personal opinion.

I am certainly not deriding their courage under fire and valor. I'm only pointing out the mentality and political leanings of people who opt for the scalpal instead of the sword might have significantly different political leanings than the gun toters. This inherently makes the medic class more liberal. Now, if we had a conscripted army, I would think the left-right mix to be more 50-50, and the drafted in harm's way unwillingly are less educated, generally, and more likely to support the party willing to go for defeat and retreat as our liberals always are. However, today we have a highly educated volunteer army. And this class of professional warrior understands what is at stake and ...

However, today we have a highly educated volunteer army. And this class of professional warrior understands what is at stake and scorns the liberal mantra of cowardace and submission. Hence, today, the majority of our armed forces hold Obama (and Clinton, Kennedy, Pelosi, Gore, Kerry, Reid, and particularly Murtha) in contempt. Murtha is beyond contempt.
