3. McChrystal gets drunk with his aides and disses everyone in addition
to his own Afgan war strategy, and somehow it's Obama's fault that he didn't earn the respect of this unprofessional and insubordinate loose cannon.

Leave it to Tweety.

4. Big Ed had an idiot call in and said he knew Obama doesn't
respect the military because of how he salutes when he gets off the helicopter and by the people he associates with. Ed had a good time with him . . . never did find out who the associates were.

7. This has been a problem from day one. Many in the military do not respect him...
and that's primarily because he is a Democrat. The military is still mostly Republican and conservative and partisan.

8. General Stanley McChrystal is the one who is unworthy of our respect.

9. I know Admiral Mullen likes Obama--he said from Day 1 that Obama seemed
so much more engaged than Bush on military matters. Plus, he supports the repeal of DADT.
