Are most people in the Armed Forces like him?

1. I think it is the rage;
the disrespect, I mean.

What else is one to do with their hate?

2. The military closely mirrors the population in terms of politics
And while in uniform will maintain proper protocol and respect. When they retire, things can change. Sestak and Clark while less noisy have not always been respectful.

3. Allen West barely avoided being charged with murder of civilians.
He wasn't an honorable soldier, either.

4. Being a veteran doesn't stop you from being an asshole.

5. Respect is reserved for the office....
Not necessarily for the person.

Look at the personal disrespect shown for Barrack on this board, as well as for Boosh I & II, Clinton, Reagan and Jimmy Carter.


One can disagree with, even despise the person, and still respect what the Office stands for.

6. They told me that 40 years ago-it didn't take.
West is just an asshole.
