Military families support Obama
35

Veterans and military families received a lot of praise and attention at the recent Democratic National Convention, and for good reason.


After six years of war on two different fronts, perhaps no group of citizens is more directly affected by the decisions and judgment of this administration. Soldiers and Marines in core infantry units are in their second or third deployments, with others heading out for their fourth, fifth or sixth. Our military families are increasingly suffering from their own combat stress, having borne the burden of current conflicts with little shared sacrifice or attention.

Did I say everyone supports Obama?? NO, I did not! my husband is in the military, has done two tours in Iraq, and we support Obama so that is my frame of reference.

Must be nice to get almost 4 years between deployments most of us get a year to a year and a half if were lucky! Some people are on their fourth deployment in 7 years so it's a little different for them, I am sure.
