<p>Yes politics are a big problem especially when General’s and Admiral’s place their poltics ahead of their reponsibilities. I admire Gen. Shwarzkopf becuase he chose not to do the political thing but the right thing as a military leader. After he retired many in both parties tried unsuccessfully to recuit him and unlike some recent others Powell, Zinni, McPeak, Clark he resisted. </p>
<p>I will say I believe Obama will be the next president, and my military side is deeply concerned. When the President has more in common with the ladies of Code Pink then the Men and Women who serve our nation it is a new day. The media will try hard to say one candidate or the other has the support, but when that becomes a reality we are a short step from something really bad. Our Military should not be about politics but about defending our nation.</p>
