The bush administration was very good at convincing the world that the U.S. military were staunch suporters of their administration and its policies.
This may have been, or even be largely acurate. However, I hypothesise that U.S. military opinion (the opinion of personel in the military) has become disolusioned with much of this (like the general population has, altho I am sure in diferant ways). I cite the replacement of Donald rumsfeld, and the aparant military (as well as public) desire for this to happen as supporting that there has been at elast some changes here in terms of how people view neocon/bush policy.
But that is not the purpous of this thread. This thread is for servicemen to describe how their political outlooks have changed in the last 8 years. Were you a republican? Are you still? Are you a libertarian? Did u swap to democrats? How have those serving arounds yous outlooks changed?
Im interested.
