According to the Military Times (PDF),
just 25% of military members support President Obama's job approval. In
George Bush's last year in office, he held an approval rating that was a
tad under 50%.
In late February, President Obama put together a proposal to cut $12.9 Billion from the Tricare system, despite the fact that the health care of troops has dropped 21%.
Although Gallup showed that military members on active-duty or
veterans are less likely to approve of Obama, they disagree on the
magnitude. But the Gallup poll
was released in May 2011. I see two problems with that poll. 1) It was
taken in the same month of the Osama Bin Laden killing - a great win for
our nation's military. 2) Even Gallup admits that service members may
be less "willing to express an opinion to a survey interviewer,
regardless of what they may actually believe". The Military Times poll
may be more appealing for an honest review or the opposite.

+18Ooops, does that mean that OBAMA will disban the Marine Corp, and replace it with his own army? Well, could be. He did say he wanted his own army, didn't he. Well, let the chps fall where they may, probably, this administration will send the marine corp, or CORPS, as Obama will put it, out side the USA do come voting time, he doean't have to worry about them.
I just want to come on here to say this.
Those guys deserved to be NJP'd and suffer the consequences... here is why...
Insubordination of the Chain of command. You are not allowed to protest or make any statement against your Chief and Commander. Many people got into trouble for speaking out about Bush.
GO PRESIDENT OBAMA !

Support for President Bush and his Iraq war policy is nearly as anemic among US military families as it is in the general population, according to a new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll.
The survey finds that almost 60 percent of the military community -- which was defined as active and former service personnel as well as their families -- disapprove of the president's handling of the war. The same percentage of the group disapprove of Bush's overall performance as president. Meanwhile, only 37 percent of the family members approve of Bush. Among civilians polled, the war garnered support from 32 percent of respondents.
Families that include veterans of wars presided over by the president were found to be just as critical of the war in Iraq as other Americans, with a full 60 percent saying the war was not worth the cost.
"Patience with the war, which has now lasted longer than the U.S. involvement in World War II, is wearing thin -- particularly among families who have sent a service member to the conflict," reports the Los Angeles Times' Faye Fiore. "One-quarter say American troops should stay 'as long as ...

"Patience with the war, which has now lasted longer than the U.S. involvement in World War II, is wearing thin -- particularly among families who have sent a service member to the conflict," reports the Los Angeles Times' Faye Fiore. "One-quarter say American troops should stay 'as long as it takes to win.' Nearly seven in 10 favor a withdrawal within the coming year or 'right away.'"
The new numbers stand in stark contrast to a poll of military families conducted by the University of Pennsylvania three years ago, in which twice as many individuals approved of the president's performance.
The poll also finds more support for Democrats than Republicans when it comes to "treatment" of active-duty military personnel, indicating that a "plurality of military-family members, 39 percent, say they believe Democrats are likely to do a better job handling those issues, compared with 35 percent for Republicans," according to Bloomberg news.

A proposal by the Obama administration would save $12.9 Billion by 2017 from the Tricare system.
From Fox News
The proposed increases in health care payments by service members, which must be approved by Congress, are part of the Pentagon’s $487 billion cut in spending. It seeks to save $1.8 billion from the Tricare medical system in the fiscal 2013 budget, and $12.9 billion by 2017.
“We shouldn’t ask our military to pay our bills when we aren’t willing to impose a similar hardship on the rest of the population,” Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and a Republican from California, said in a statement to the Washington Free Beacon. “We can’t keep asking those who have given so much to give that much more.”

The Marine Corps Times previews its cover story about anti-Obama Marines at their 'Battle Rattle' blog.
According to the article, of the 792 active-duty troops and mobilized reservists who responded to this year's Military Times Poll, 44 percent said that they disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job as commander in chief.
The article cites hot button issues such as repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," relaxing restrictions of women in combat, and steep budget cuts, behind the disapproval numbers.
The report highlights the recent controversy over a Tea Party Facebook page operated by active Marine Sgt. Gary Stein.
Maybe my math is wrong but by my calculations, 56% approve of him.
He wants everyone in the same uniform.

Now that I said that, people are going to jump on here and talk about how much of an enemy Barack Obama is to America... ... ...
People are so predictable.
