How can you vote for McCain if you care about the troops?
John McCain will not bring the troops home in the next 4 years. John McCain will not end the war in the next 4 years. If you care about the troops and their families, you want them home. Voting for McCain means you don't care about the troops.

I will vote for Hillary Clinton if she wins the nomination because I want to end the war and bring the troops home.

I will vote for Barack Obama if he wins the nomination because I want to end the war and bring the troops home.

I care more about the troops than I care about whether my preferred candidate wins the nomination. Do you?

1. I'm married to a serviceman. And I won't for McCain OR Hillary.
America will get what she deserves, if the race comes down to Senile vs. Corrupt.

5. 4 YEARS? NO WAY. NOT POSSIBLE.
I will say it now, and you can bookmark this, NO WAY OBAMA, HILLARY or the Flying Spaghetti Monster will bring the troops home in 4 YEARS, NO WAY. The BEST we can hope for is some troops home, say 20-40% home in 4 years, that is the BEST anyone will be able to do.

I have been there, I have seen with my eyes the troubles, we can not, we will not, be able to pull everyone out now. IF we do it will only do us a world of hurt. No matter who is in, the troops are there for a good long time I am sorry to say.
