The US News and World Report<\/a> noticed that active duty military folks will seemingly prefer their lives under Trump more than they liked serving Obama. Easy to figure, since their pay lost pace with inflation, they’re struggling with manpower shortages, training dollars are drying up, equipment is breaking and there’s no repair parts in the pipeline. But anyway;<\/p>\n

More than half the troops in a new poll had an unfavorable opinion of Obama’s leadership of the military for the past eight years, and about 36 percent said they approved of his performance as commander in chief, according to the latest survey by the Military Times and the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University.<\/p>\n

Nearly 49 percent of service members who voted in the November election cast their ballots for Republican Donald Trump, who was very critical of Obama, while 29 percent voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton, who was Obama’s secretary of state.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

The survey found that 29.1 percent of military personnel rated the president very unfavorably and 22.4 percent rated him somewhat unfavorably \u2013 51.5 percent negative. Eighteen percent rated him very favorably and 18.4 percent somewhat favorably \u2013 36.4 percent positive. About 12.1 percent were neutral. <\/p>\n

About 60 percent of women and 57 percent of minorities in the military approved of the job performance of Obama, the first African-American president.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Probably comparable to statistics following the Carter and Clinton administrations. The troops aren’t blood thirsty – they just want the administration to shit or get off the pot. Either fight the wars or don’t. It’s impossible to do both at the same time like the Obama Administration has done for eight years.<\/p>\n

It makes you wonder how the IAVA and VoteVets could back sending Democrats in the White House while claiming that they support the troops – there’s a pattern here that someone might have missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
