Troops fear Democrats and liberals becuase, when Clinton was in power almost 1/3 of the army and other branches were cut down to size. Bases were closed and some soldiers were made to retire early which caused them to lose certain benifits. Remember that movie "Black Hawk Down"? Yeah well read the book and talk to some of the people that were there and that whole problem was cause of Clintons misdirection on how to use intel and the special forces units that we have. This is what scares troops. Liberals want to look at things and wait for them to hit us in the face. A conservitive will take what they see and do something. Remember if someone is pointing a gun at you and about to shoot. All the thoughts and liberal ideas in the world will not save you. True actions will.
Besides the military has had several raises since Bush has been in. You can not complain about that. Oh by the way, what is an Army without a war? A training Army. In those days, it sure was boring and the money wasn't that good. Rememer the military is voulanteer. So alot of these people fighting did it on their own free will.

No your right, actually i know a great many soldiers, and they all fear a Democratic congress, and/or presidency, because of the lack of support they would recieve, thier funding would be cut in favor of some foolish social program that would only help the poor, who are already propped up enough as it is, and if someone asks how i know that the poor is propped up by government funds, well im from one of the poorest regions in the country, southern West Virginia.

To Octobers answer, I laugh. That is WHY they fear having democrats in office. THEY DONT WANT TO GO HOME! Sure, they want to be with their families and such, but they want the job to be done over there, and also they want the U.S. to be safe. And many troops feel that the democrats will just pull out of war, and let terrorism go on...allowing another attack.

Wrong. Democrats will find a way to bring them home. Republicans will keep them there until another 3 thousand die and then air lift them off the roof of the US embassy.
