I voted for President Bush. I would vote for him again. I do feel if you are qualified to be in the military and you voted for the president then you should do your part. I do not mean do your part 4 years from now. I understand that some are in college ROTC and that is cool but if you are just going to college, I think you should be serving. Oh yeah, the age requirement to join the Army is now 17 - 42. I am in the army.

I don't think weather you voted for Bush or not should have anything to do with it, you should join the Military (I'm in the AF by the way currently in Iraq) because you want to. Whatever the reason you joined shouldn't matter as long as your willing to do what ANY president asks you to do and support our troops and do your part.

Well, I think that should be up to the individual. In today's world, all qualified would include both men and women, and I don't think that women should play the main part in active warfare (I know that they do not participate in front line activities, etc.), however, if you feel called to serve your country then I think that you should, no matter for whom you voted. It's all up to the individual, and some people aren't made to serve in their country's military. Besides, if everyone who was eligible to do so enlisted in the military, who would be left at home to take care of the menial tasks that remain? chrini*

I would not want people in my unit who only joined because they liked a particular president.
Once you put the uniform on - your political opinions are irrelevant to your duty.
So far - I have served under four different Presidents. All of them got the same amount of loyalty regardless of whether I voted for them or not.

I can find no fault with your logic, other than all citizens should join some branch of the military, regardless of what vote them might Have cast sometime in the past.

I think we Military families do our share of serving. Believe me, my children and I may not be active duty members, but we make sacrifices. I don't have to be on the front-lines to love my country, support our troops, or vote for President Bush.
I don't for one moment compare myself to those people like you and my husband. I think all of our military are true hero's, rather they are fighting in Iraq, or just coming out of boot-camp. You are willing to fight to keep us free, and help other countries when they are in need. But as a military wife, I know that my husband depends on me to be there for him while he is away. When he is gone, I have those times that I just want to give up, but I know that the kids are depending on me, and he is too. And he always tells me how much it means to him to have my support.

Well, I guess if you voted for Kerry, then you should pay extra taxes to the government as well?
I think alot of voters think they have to vote for one of the 2 major party candidates, even if they don't agree with the whole platform.

You don't have to vote for a republican to support the military, it just happens to lean that way.
