I have faith that the Republic will endure. I'm also curious to see how President Obama differs from candidate Obama. We may be pleasantly surprised, we may not but I refuse to despair.
I completely support and understand how this effects your immediate plans toward military service.
No despair, but I’m definitely not happy. The country could be decades recovering from the damage a committed Marxist/big-government-interventionist could do in just one four-year term. In fact — though I’m not taking this as a given, just recognizing the possibility — we could actually be looking at the point where the U.S. began to cease existing as a sovereign nation.
As for how it affects my military service, nobody knows what that will be. The world situation could change drastically (and badly) with no advance warning. Whatever comes, I’ll be committed to whatever my duty demands.
It was in no way my intent to imply you would ever shirk your duty. I simply recall you were not very confident in the idea of President Obama as Commander-in-chief.
