How important is it?

Not even the president can honor his oath to protect and defend the constitution while in the service of globalists who violate the constitution daily.

I know it's a taboo subject among those who still prefer to believe that service in a military controlled by international corporate fascists is the same as serving your country, but it ain't.

No matter how much red white and blue paint you color it with.

Besides, Obama is using the military to protect, defend and expand the new international economic order now so that must count for something, right?

 

Well after I take off my tinfoil hat...

The issue is an important one, but not that important imho. It clearly shouldn't be a requirement, that has never been part of the US system. I voted for #2 because it is something to consider but it doesn't make or break my voting for a Commander-in-Chief.

We have a civilian led military. It was set up that way since the inception of the republic because it provides a good check and balance. Having a President with military experience is fine but few Presidents (with notable exceptions) would ever serve in a capacity where they would have decision making for the entire corps. That's why we have the Joint Chiefs. They are apt advisors but the decision comes down to a civilian. This is good.

 

Maybe you should take off your blinders instead of worrying about tin foil hats so much. Our civilian "leaders" all serve the global banks and corporations now. It's what the founders would say is "self evident" (for those willing to put aside all the red white blue propaganda and look at just the facts.) So our military serves corporate interests these days not the interests of the people of the United States.

If the joints chiefs were on our side they wouldn't go along with one unconstitutional war after another.
