So What Would You Do IF....



..... you were talking to a person wearing the uniform of the US Army with the FULL-BIRD on the collar when all you did was say the word President Obama and their reply was "He isn't my President"

What would you do? What would you say?

Or express surprise that a non-citizen can get promoted so far up the chain.

He needs to be called out on it. No matter how much any of us dislike the current President, he is still the President of all of us.

I hated Bush as much as anyone and regardless of how he obtained his office he was the President. Mine, yours and everyone's.

You don't have to like or agree with the President but you don't have a choice in whether or not he gets to be it, especially if you're in the military.

"Hey, I took the same oath you did, fuckwad!: '...protect and defend the Constitution...bear true faith and allegiance to the same...and obey the orders of the Commander-In-Chief.'

If you can't abide by your oath, take off that fucking uniform!"
