I already do. I am in the Naval Reserve and President Bush is the commander in chief.
BTW I also served under Bill Clinton, as well as George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan.

>doug haddix - If you are citing the Constitution, you should recognize George W. Bush as president. Try reading Article II and the 12th Amendment.

Really any military member is under the command of the President. However if he were say and Admiral, as I'm in the Navy, I can I don't know. His decisions as President don't really reflect too much on his ability as a tactitian. I guess I would either way seeing as how if he made an order it has to be complied with to the best of the ordered parties' ability, unless of course it was an unlawful order (as specified in the Uniform Code of Military Justice). So as it stands, we don't really have a choice on way or the other to follow his command, we just have to suck it up and do it and do it anyway.

Yes. In fact I volunteered for recall from the Navy Retired List a few days after the attack on America. Unfortunately the current Federal law prohibits such action past a certain age, unless one is a physician.
I served under seven commanders-in-chief, from Eisenhower to Reagan. I only considered one to be a total dud.

I can think of no President since Eisenhower or possibly JFK who I would serve directly under there command in combat-the rest were not trained to do that; I include Jimmy Carter and Bush senior in that though they were in the military. Would I serve in the military when he was the Commander in Chief-Yes I would because he is a political decision maker and the combat leadership is the military (for the most part). I served under Jimmy Carter as Commander In Chief (President) who was a military (navy officer) and would say he was the worse Commander in Chief there was-no leadership and worse then zero decision making ability. Do I agree or did I agree with all the decisions of the various commander in chiefs I had in 20 years; no but my job was to follow the orders and that I did.

Why not? I served under the Command of Jimmy Carter. Bush is a great improvement.

Yes I would and have for almost 7 years now. It is so much better than serving under Slick Willy! Your English teacher is a hippie, don't let your mind be poisoned by the propaganda.

Yes. I served under his Daddy, and have 2 sons serving currently. He seems to listen to the military leadership and follow their input. I feel much more comfortable with him in charge of the military than I will if Clinton, or another left wing anti-military radical wins office.

I did serve under President Bush. i fought in iraq and i am not upset or pissed about it. the reasons we went to war are somewhat foggy but we are there and fighting so the best thing to do now is try and figure out how to win the war and regain the prestige we had before the war started.

Yes. I honestly wouldn't care who is Commander in Chief. I would like to serve regardless of who's in charge because I love my country.

my husband joined while george w bush has been in office.
when he decided to go into the army...it had nothing to do with who was in office. he didnt take that into account at all. he looked at it as :
he was joining in a time of war where he needed to help out the other men and woman who were fighting for his freedom, he needed to have a steady life for his family (as in a steady pay, health care, and housing). He enjoys his job and he doesnt mind having to go to war. He knew he was signing up during a time of war and was looking forward to being able to go help lay down the new ground for iraq.
hes my hero :D
