A soldier served in Iraq 2006-2007, and he just got back from Afghanistan last month. He said the following is true.

The 2014 United States elections will be held on Tuesday,
November 4, 2014. During this mid-term election year, all 435
seats in the United States House of Representatives and 33
of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be
contested in this election. Get out and VOTE!
A movement has been started by our armed forces to get out
the vote in 2014. They are organizing themselves, but this
can be done by all of us. The President, the Commander in
Chief, has made the Rules of Engagement (ROE) so difficult,
that our troops are often killed before they can even get
permission to fight. Nothing has been done to stop our
troops from being murdered by the Afghanis they are
training, either. Now, the President wants the US to sign on
to the UNs International Criminal Court (ICC), which would
allow the UN's ICC to arrest and try US troops for War
Crimes, without the legal protections guaranteed under US
Law, and from which there is no appeal. The President, with
his Democratic control of the Senate, has nearly all the
power. If the Non-Establishment Republicans, and
Conservatives, can take back the Senate in 2014, our troops
can once again be protected from unnecessary danger. Please
consider this and send it on to your mailing lists. Thank you.
Interestingly enough, when GWB was president you heard about
the military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan almost daily.
With Obama in the White House, the mainstream media has been
strangely quiet.
More than 1,000 American soldiers have lost their lives in
Afghanistan in the last 27 months. This is more than the
combined total of the nine years before. Thirty have died in
August. During the last month, over 50 additional NATO and
US servicemen have been murdered, inside jobs by those who
are hired to be a force for good in Afghanistan.
The commander in chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he
ordered the White House flag flown at half-staff for the
Sikhs that were killed. There is a deep disgust, a fury,
growing in the ranks of the military against the indifferent
incompetence of this president.
It has taken on a dangerous tone. No one knows what to do
about him, but the anger runs deep as the deaths continue
with no strategic end in sight to the idiocy of this war.
Obama has had 4 years to end this futile insanity, during
which time he has vacationed, golfed, campaigned and
generally ignored the plight of our men and women in
uniform. But, there is now a movement afoot in the armed
services to launch a massive get out the vote drive against
this president.
Not just current active duty types, but the National Guard,
Reserves, the retired and all other prior service members.
This is no small special interest group, but many millions
of veterans who can have an enormous impact on the outcome
of the November election if they all respond.
The one million military retirees in Florida alone could
mean an overwhelming victory in that state if they all show
up at the polls. It might not keep another one hundred U.S.
troops from dying between now and November, but a turnout
to vote by the military against this heart-breaking lack of
leadership can make a powerful statement that hastens a
change to the indifference of this shallow little man who
just lets our soldiers die.
Veterans: Please forward to your lists. High Priority!
