So many trolls such little Intelligence

A troll that gets paid by the word...
The use of the Military Times poll for this purpose is highly suspect, at
best.To begin with, the Army Times Publishing Company is a Gannett
subsidiary. It is not, I repeat is not, a military newspaper. It is a
civilian publication that is distributed to both civilian readers and
military alike.As far as military readership, it is read largely by field
grade officers and upper staff NCO’s, mostly career types, hence such polls
don’t accurately reflect the opinions of those who are likely to muster out
of the military before or after the end of the ongoing conflict.This would
be the equivalent of polling the upper level management of a very large corporation to the exclusion of mid and lower level management as well as
the rank and file employee, then drawing
certain conclusions based on the results.Although the statement here, as far as
the polls is generally accurate, it paints an incomplete and misleading picture
the overall attitude of the troops. Even though Marie Therese did exercise due
diligence in naming her source, she used the military as a tool to further her
position, an all too common practice that the vast majority of active duty,
retired and former military personnel find objectionable.What is far more
revealing can be found in the cited article under the heading of “Seeing
media bias.” According to the polls, “they are convinced the media hate them
— only 39 percent of military respondents said they think the media have a
favorable view of the troops.”I am in agreement with the majority here. It
has been my experience over the years that this is the case with the
traditional media and of late with the liberal blogosphere to an even
greater degree.The objective here seems to be to spin this poll results into
a case for the President being raked over the coals by the military when in
fact 48% feel that he has “the best interest of the troops at heart,” even though they don’t like the way he’s handling the war.Also stated, “While
approval of Bush’s handling of the war has plunged, approval for his overall
performance as president remains high at 52 percent.”Although Bush is having
problems, it is not the grim picture presented here on this post. In typical
military fashion, the opinion of the civilian leadership is quite a bit
lower, as would be expected.Another indicator of the military outlook is
this statement, “there was not a big gain in those identifying themselves as
Democrats — a figure that consistently hovers around
16percent. The big gain came among people who said they were independents.”This
also, “Liberals within the military are still a rare breed, with less than 10
percent of respondents describing themselves that way.”Using military polls for
causes that most military personnel disagree with is not something that is well
received, except within the ranks of the liberals who somehow find
themselves in the military.It is my opinion that most former military people
that follow the liberal line disliked the military, their cohorts and are
often bitter, especially those who were drafted. Rightfully so.At the risk
of offending former military folks here, which is not my intention, I
personally had difficulty with liberal minded people, both as a NCO and later as a member of the officer corps. I generally found them ill suited
for military life and, with certain exceptions, performed poorly. I have
long advocated an easier way out of the military with no penalties for those
who find themselves in that position. It would be better for both the people who would be better off in civilian life and for the military as well. In
summation, it is my opinion that the use of the military on this type of post as well as many of the comments here are insulting and demeaning, regardless of the intention. In short, the vast majority of the military
wants neither liberal help nor liberal approval.
