"Obama has a plan to immediately begin withdrawing our troops engaged in combat operations at a pace of one or two brigades every month, to be completed by the end of next year. He would call for a new constitutional convention in Iraq, convened with the United Nations, which would not adjourn until Iraq's leaders reach a new accord on reconciliation. He would use presidential leadership to surge our diplomacy with all of the nations of the region on behalf of a new regional security compact. And he would take immediate steps to confront the ongoing humanitarian disaster in Iraq."
Anyone who is in the military, or anyone who knows anyone in the military, should be disgusted with themselves if they do not vote for this man. Do it for your third cousins, your high school acquaintances, the kids who "just wanted money for college" or a way to support their families. Do it for the career military men who want to retire in one piece or the punk kid who chose the military over a jail sentence. No one deserves what is happening right now. I'm doing it for a cousin from Texas I never knew. He was 21.
I know I just poisoned the well there, but goddamn is it justified. This atheist is on the verge of praying for our collective futures.
