<p>AC - while no polls have been done here, I cannot see ANYWHERE where a majority, or close, supported President-elect Obama over Senator McCain. While the whole military it not the best percentage to show our numbers, I can guarantee its over 50%. </p>
<p>A friend of mine made a good point I had forgotten about. Generally, under Democratic regimes, the military members have been given better programs (healthcare, housing, etc.) whereas Republican regimes tended to bolster more general programs like weapon systems or broader areas. </p>
<p>As I’ve been telling people online and when having conversations with my 4-digs, its not the ‘new guy’ we should fear with regards to budget cuts, but the dem run congress. Even then, with so much political capital in many dem districts and states, I don’t see a vast reduction, like what Berney Frank wants, happening. </p>
<p>I don’t see Academy numbers dropping either, I don’t think they could even rally enough people to drop it. </p>
<p>Overall, I think we’ll probably be better off. You look at the reactions in Europe, Africa, and many parts of Asia, you’ll see a world ready to help out with an America they see as revitalizing hope and taking a new turn.</p>
