AMERICANS STILL LOVE THE MILITARY, BUT THERE ARE PROBLEM AREAS - 9:35 P.M. ET:  A Rasmussen poll shows that Americans still love their military.  However, not all Americans do, and it is troubling to see how one of our parties has been compromised:

...75% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the U.S. military.
Only 11% view the military unfavorably, and 14% are undecided in a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey...

...Eighty-five percent (85%) of Republicans have a favorable view of the U.S. military, compared to 68% of Democrats and 73% of adults not affiliated with either major political party.

COMMENT:  Only 68% of Dems have a favorable view of the military?  This is, or was, the party of Roosevelt, Truman, and Jack Kennedy, the party that was willing to "pay any price" for freedom.  And a third of that party today does not have a favorable view of our fighting forces. 

Gee, do you think it would be hard for us to figure out which Dems these are?  Can you say Manhattan?  Can you say Ivy League?  Can you say northern California?  Or Seattle? 

I'm being unfair.  There are people in those areas who appreciate our military.  But you know what I mean.
