Que'lle crap.

This is propaganda at its most disgusting: cherrypicking the statements of a few soldiers and presenting them as if they're the whole story. The closest this piece of "journalism" ever got to an even neutral presentation of a right wing viewpoint was the inclusion of the "illegals working under the table" comment (and even then that's a stretch; but hey, in the minds of liberals, a statement like that is enough to get you labeled a xenophobe). The one McCain backer they showed came off as a cold-hearted bastard who put his paycheck above human lives. Please. Everyone knows that if McCain has one relatively solid base of supporters, it's in the military crowd, and to run this segment and pretend as if the majority of the armed forces serving in Iraq and Afghanistan support either Hillary or Obama is really nothing short of pathetic and disingenuous damage control for the fractured Democratic Party. Too bad the conveniently uninterviewed McCain supporters over there won't ever see this segment. Most of 'em can't stand anything other than Fox News.

The MSM can't stand the idea that the vast majority in the US military lean right politically (always have), so they go looking for the few that lean left. Coming from a military family background on all sides for as far back as anyone knows, I know from personal experience that the Armed Forces have traditionally leaned right. It is so transparent and shameless what the MSM is trying to do, it's almost funny. 

I am also a conservative. I like John McCain. I would have no problems with a John McCain Presidency.

I don't like Hillary Clinton.

I am starting to understand BDS when it comes to Obama. I really really really am starting to loathe this man.

First it was the flag. The military is big on the ceremony, and the U.S Flag is part of the ceremony.

Every single time he comes close to military matters, he sticks his foot in his mouth.

His latest blunder is the "strike force" that will remain in or close to Iraq. Uh, guess what, no such animal. I hate to say this but google it, it only exist in Ninja Obama's mind. Obama the military expert will have to create one. Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force, Strike Force Death Squad One!

Personally, I think he saw Team America World Police one too many times. 

In uniform and making political comments?! I thought that was a no-no.

I trust NB's realizes, their exposure of bias in the msm is having little or no effect on the process, except driving them out of business. Is that a good idea? When does media "by the government, for the governemnt....." become a possible scenario? Soon the government will be the only entity left standing which is just what the commies want. Otherwise, McCarthy would not still be being vilified. 

Just waiting to see what happens when debate season comes around, see what comes out.

restrictive rules of engagement

not using air power for fear of civilian casualties causing more dead GI's

Accepting Irans supplying of IED's & not bombing those **sholes for doing it, thereby causing needless American deaths

Allowing Al Sadr to run his own militia & not taking him out

it goes on & on..if the commander in Cheif would back his boys to the hilt, & not play Johnson / Mcnamara ala Viet Nam, his support wouldn't dwindle among the military (although I agree ABC slanted the hell out of the story)

I didn't see the video report, but the online version, to which I was directed via Drudge, includes ZERO mention of John McCain. You would think that they were referring to a general election between Obama and Hillary. Sickening.

In the comments section, there are comments from a self-described Hillary supporter in Iraq who agrees that the report is biased. He says that there are (unsurprisingly) more McCain supporters than Obama or Hillary supporters over there.

I gotta stop reading/watching/listening to the media. It's disgusting.

i seem to recall in my military stint that as a soldier in uniform you were absolutely not suppose to stump for a political candidate or express political opinions to the press. out of uniform off duty on your own time you have %100 legal right to express your political beliefs to the public, but in uniform and, and especially to the media, i believe there is a part of the UCMJ that states you keep your mouth shut. this falls along the same line of expected integrity that you are suppose to follow the orders of the command and chief despite whether or not you voted for him, accordingly it also applies to saluting the president(which i had to begrudginly do to clinton) because you are saluting the office of the president, not the man per se.

someone correct me if i'm wrong about that, but i think they violated the ucmj while being dazzled by by the lights of the camera and the chance to be the next american idol.

Take any of these quotes with a grain of salt.  As someone mentioned, the randomness of the selection of people to interview is probably questionable, or at least those that made it into the aired segement.

  Remember the soldier that said Murtha had total support of our troops in Iraq after his cracks about murderers and thugs, turned out to be the cousin or brother of the Democrat state representative from Murtha's home district in Pennsylvania and was a Democratic precinct committeeman himself.

Wonder how many GIs the ABC crews interviewed before they got the "right" answers----the MSM lie, distort, and simply fabulate with impunity.  Probably three out of four are for McCain, but skanky Martha, who looks like Skeletor's wife, wouldn't convey that REALITY!

"The military is not supposed to engage in partisan political activity, making these endorsements by troops in Iraq all the more striking. Who do you want for President?"

If the troops were endorsing ANY political candidate, that's a clear violation of UCMJ rules. I'm not sure this could be considered an endorsement, but that would be for a conduct review board to figure out.

"RADDATZ: There were some McCain backers. Why is that?"

Hay Raddatz, how many is "some" and why do you only show ONE McCain supporter? Wouldn't balanced reporting require you to show just as many McCain supporters as the number of supports of Hillary and Obama you highlight? Or is balanced reporting too much to ask?

"SPECIALIST GUY ANDREASON, U.S. ARMY: I think that's a big deal. As far as illegal immigrants coming over here and, you know, working under the table."

That's bull. I highly doubt that illegal immigrants are rushing to Iraq for jobs as contractors. I know damn well that illegal immigrants are not deployed there in the military. The military investigates every single person who enlists and it would be next to impossible to hide your immigration status from a thorough background check.

I'm pretty sure that military contractors working in Iraq are investigated just as thoroughly as the members of our military are. How many American businesses that are contracted to supply services in Iraq would be willing to risk exposure of illegal hiring practices? I doubt very highly that any business would send “undocumented” workers into a volatile and highly scrutinized working environment like Iraq. The MSM would be all over any story about illegal immigrants working for "Bush's War" in Iraq.
