President Barack Obama is trying hard to win veterans, but it looks like they’d prefer a new commander in chief.
Vets are one group which I would expect to know competent leadership when they see it, so this is no surprise. It also figures that the Dems will work hard to keep military votes from being counted, as in Florida in 2000.
Obama has total disdain for Military vets and we know it...........

Based off of what evidence Navy? (The voice in your head isnt a reliable source)
By his $500 billion in cuts and the $500. billion more he wants to cut in defense.........I know you don't like to here it vut the military and veterans as a whole always vote Republican........Get use to it...
Ryan Williams, a Romney campaign spokesman, said the Republican’s lead among veterans comes from their resistance to the looming potential defense cuts under the budget sequester, problems with Obama’s foreign policy positions and the backdrop of the stagnant economy that’s left the post-Sept. 11 generation of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans with a difficult time finding work when they return home.

Senate GOP Obstructionists Throw Veterans Under The Bus-Vote Down Bill To Help Vets In Need Of Jobs
For those who continue to believe that obstructionism at any cost is not the goal of the Senate Republicans, consider the behavior of the GOP Senators who, on Friday, blocked a bi-partisan effort to pass a bill that would put veterans to work in jobs that look after the nation’s federal land while also giving our fighting men and women a leg up when it comes to getting them hired by local police and fire departments.
In order to bring the bill to the floor, a procedural vote was required to waive a technical limit placed on such spending as agreed to in Congress during last year’s budgetary fiasco. Despite the sum of money having been fully offset by cuts and modifications to other planned expenditures, Senate Republicans used the required vote to shoot down the proposed legislation as the Democrats, with some Republican assistance, were able to manage only 58 of the 60 votes required to accomplish the waiver.
GOP Senator Tom Coburn provided the rationale for those who were in opposition—
“We ought to do nothing now that makes the problem worse for our kids and grandkids,”
The democrats have never done well with the military vote - that is why they send their ballots late..
