The American public is overwhelmingly against bush and the entire Republican party for that matter. It seems logical that the more the Military supports bush (with stupid slogans about freedom of speech) the less the public will trust the military.

They correct answer appears to be, that the military should NOT criticize the civilian public on Yahoo – Unless bush tells them to.

In 1970 rightwing pro war activists spat on dozens of Vietnam Vets who marched against the war. I would never spit on a Vet.

The active and reserve military have a limitted right to criticize whom ever they want. They cannot do so to active Congresspersons or the President and they cannot campaign for whomever they want. To disagree with the public is well within the rights they have and if they chose to execise it then why shouldn't they. The American public has the highest trust in the mlitary; way above the President, Congress, the Republican Party, the Democratic Party or any other part of the governement and this has been true for years under both parties and in peace and war. People that stand up for their "beliefs" only when it is the majority or popular opinion are just sheep with no beliefs; sheep do not do well in government look at the past administrtions that ruled by poll..Jimmy Carter being aprime example. Sorry if Freedom of Speech is just a "stupid slogan" to you; aren't you glad the military doesn't feel that way about it and the rest of the Constitution they have sworn to protect. I would guess the minority of Iraqi veterans who disagree wirh Bush are the only ones that should be allowed to speak according to you; the name for that is censorship so is the true agenda you believe in one of censorship and a dictarship in power to back it up? I very seriously doubt that the government, including President Bush, has given orders to the enlisted personnel to go on here and back him up-you really have a low opinion of the enlisted military personnel if you think that would work.

If the average person in the public doesn't trust the military it's their own loss they need to trust us when it comes to what should be done over in Iraq and if we say that Bush is right about Iraq trust us we're teh people over there fighting. I really don't care if someone doesn't trust the military but always remember that we are the ones who fight for yur freedoms to come up with these dumb ideas.

I will repeat the answer of another, because it is good:
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

This premise is based only on wishful thinking. About 1/2 the American public are Republican.

The military supports the PRESIDENT, not Bush. We don't have to agree with him to support him. He is our top commanding officer, so we are required to do so regardless of our personal beliefs. If we were not, there would be no point to having the President even be involved with the military.

Come to the heart land(aka fly over country) and you will see just who the back bone of this land is behind. Bush by far is not the best but he was much better than Gore or Kerry would have been.
What I have seen the dems as you think freedom of speech is over rated. the Dems would love to change the 1st and 2nd amendments.
Please read more than the liberal rags and learn more of the world.

You are wrong. You do not speak for the American people. The US is not against President Bush and/or the Republican Party. The left wing liberal loonies in Congress and in the main stream media heap loads of unjust criticism.
I am glad the US military supports the President. They are getting paid and doing a good job of protecting your sorry butt.
