Served under Obama. Hated him. Would have gone and died had he commanded, though.

Had four nephews in service at the time. All voted Republican, but none of them "hated" Obama.

You should talk to your nephews more, then. They have more sense than your stupid arse.

Obama was NOT a popular dude among military folk. At all.

And here's the Military Times's survey of military perception of Obama's tenure as Commander-in-Chief... I'd say AT MOST 29.1% of the military "hated" him.:

Just to let you in on a little secret... that gray area in the charts is the "I can't stand the SOB but cannot say it for fear of ruining my career OR I can't stand the SOB but I am not going to express my opinion out of respect for the office"...

I never answered one of those stupid surveys...

General McChrystal


Stanley McChrystal lost his job because he was openly critical of his Commander-in-Chief in a time of war...something I would expect a 4-Star to know better than to do. It was one of the few things that I actually sided with Obama on.

Same. Those close to me knew where I stood, but I kept my social media clean as frick while serving under a CiC I wasn't a fan of. You couldn't have paid me to answer any such official survey with anything other than a "neutral" while I was on active duty.

People with vested interests in keeping their military jobs don't approve of the job performance of a man who tried to streamline that giant bloated operation.

COLOR ME SHOCKED, I TELL YOU!

Still, it's a far cry from "disapprove of his job performance" to "hate". ShortyRob with his cheap theatrics.

Who the frick are you talking about? Obama? Sure, if you call cutting funding and running countless social experiments "Streamlining"... I will say this, he was not as bad as Bill Clinton on the funding side but the fricker took the cake on the social experiments...


I hated the motherfricker and I can say that now... Most that served with me hated him as well... But we respected the office enough to keep our damn mouths shut until we retired or processed out...

Don't you have some "deep state" paranoia you need to be seeing a psychiatrist about?

Best thing about retiring is you can request any living President to sign that lovely document, therefore no need to receive one from BHO.

Which I hope has already happened. Better to have sensible people working for us.
