Do you think a solider would want to salute Obama as commander in chief since he disrespected our flag on more than one occasion?

I wouldn't vote for Obama because he isn't qualified. His view on respect for the flag is insignificant when compared to his inability to lead the country.

I do not support his politics. I do not support the spread of Bravo Sierra either.
If the guy above is right about some edited picture I have one thing to add. The only people that salute the Flag are uniformed members of the Military, Police and Fire Depts. Even they do not salute the Flag when not in uniform. It is customary to place your right hand over your heart at certain times like the playing of the National Anthem or the passing of Color Guards, raising and lowering of the Flag
I will also bet you would have to look up which Title in Fed. Code covers the Flag. So look it up, state your beef and provide some details instead of a blanket comment with "0" reference!

My enlistment ends December 2008. I'm seriously considering getting out depending on the election results in November. I'd rather quit the military with 10 years of service than serve under or salute any of the Democrats running for office. There would be no honor or point in continuing to serve under a Democratic administration that obviously hates the military...

Only if they are 1) looking for a horrible new leader 2) forgot their oath to "defend the counrty from enemies both foreign and domestic" 3) want the Taliban or Al Queda to strike this country inside our own borders 4) respect a "man" who has no respect for them or the flag they stand for or those that died so he could turn his back on the flag

Considering the current commander in chief has hijacked the flag, propagandized and politicized it in away that has crippled our foreign policy, military strength and domestic tranquility, are you really going to not vote for someone solely because of either (1) human error on his part, (2) misleading photos, or (3) combination of the two?
C'mon...get a grip! Vote on the issue, not on some meaningless and trivial issues. I go to sporting events several times out of the year and watch every-day hardworking Americans forget to take off their caps, put their hand over their hearts, etc. I see the same thing at parades.

a guy who desires to be president of the USA. a guy who desires to be the Commander and chief of the militia of the USA. Thats exciting to me. He does not think of the yank Flag is considerable. He does not have admire for the national Anthem. He hates our protection tension. he's no longer a patriot in spite of his ramblings. i individually do no longer think of he has any admire for the US. i think of he's a liberal communist sleeper who desires to realize management interior the US so as that he can run it into the floor. Whats his center call? the place grew to become into he knowledgeable? What journey does he have? he's a frightening shaggy dog tale and you extra useful evade his evil smile... I definitely have an concept, why dont we placed osama bin ladin in his place because of the fact the democratic nominee... i'm particular osama is hopin for a hillary or an osama(i recommend obama) president as a fashion to realize his terrorist objectives. With the two of them it may be extra desirable than ordinary to terrorize our fatherland.

He did not disrepect the flag. Give it a break. I was in the Armed Forces and I did not pay any attention this media-driven neocon story.
This is why i dislike democracy because of morons creating stirring petty issues for attention.
It does not matter. He seems to be the most of all candidates in touch with reality.

As a former soldier I can assure you that 99% of all soldiers don't give a flying F about politics. They want to a) stay alive b) get home and c) protect their buddies.
You can take this to the bank and forget the nonsense you read about some embedded journalist tippy-tapping on his keyboard from his sandbagged hotel room.
And don't believe those lies, made-up photos and other slanders than come out of the GOP sewer pipe---they are fabrications meant to sling mud at a basically very decent individual.

I'm sure soldiers would be proud to salute him as they are for all Commanders in Chiefs. What were those occasions?

Obama is not my candidate but I'm sure there's more to that story than meets the eye.

I've never voted and never will, at least not until all candidates are %110 honest and true to their promises once elected.
