Obama Yuks it Up With Military Times
"Since Obama is the front runner in recent polling, it's probably best to get acquainted with his policy on the military and foreign issues. Military Times has some pretty in-depth interviews on video over on their site and here's a quick breakdown free of obscenities:
Private Security Contractors: Obama says that third-country nationals employed by KBR in the DFAC is okay, but he is concerned with security contractors involved in armed engagements. Most contractors are decent people just trying to make a living, but the rule of law is ambiguous as it applies to the few yahoos. This has negative effects on our mission in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I agree with the senator here."LT Nixon Rants
Accountability of Officers: Obama says military officers need to be held accountable. I don't see why he needs to ramble on about this issue (it's pretty much a given, like talking for a minute-and-a-half about the sky being blue). He seems rather uncomfortable talking about the specifics of the military, showing his experience and knowledge of military jargon is a bit limited. But that's not to say the President has to be versed on the specific day-to-day routine of the little people, but I sure hope he gets some damn good advisers if elected, because he'd be the boss.
