I too joined BSF4O. I felt great. its a weird place being a military wife. we're not completely civilian but we're definitely not military. I was happy to show this to people who think that military=republican no matter what. Ceeces last blog post..Happy Fathers Day

I saw this a couple weeks back and thought it was very interesting. It made me with my mom had a computer. She couldn’t believe it when I told her that people who were involved in the military would vote any other way then republican.

Thanks for putting it on your blog and sharing it.

I tire of the assumptions people make about military people and military spouses, too, especially in reference to politics. I only wish so many military folks didn't prove the stereotype correct. I joined Blue Star Families for Obama, too, but declined to get more involved because I just don't like identifying myself through my husband's job. Also? I'm a lefty whether we're involved in an illegal war that's screwing the military or not. I've never voted based solely on military issues before, and being a military spouse hasn't changed that. I've been good about donating and pulling my weight with the campaign, but as Kimba, not Kimba the military spouse. I mean, I do think it's important to point out that military spouses/families aren't always default Republicans, but this movement feels temporary to me, and based on a single issue. You know what I mean? kimbas last blog post..In case you've noticed...
