Thread: Barack Obama 'wanted to join US military'

Barack Obama has said he considered joining the United States military when he left school but decided not to because the Vietnam war was over and "we weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point".

The aspiration was not mentioned in either of his two volumes of memoirs.

Obama is a fool.

He should keep the talk about the future and leave the past - his past is simply not impressive but his ability to articulate vision is - he needs to keep the discussion on looking forward and chastising the Repugs for the mistakes of their tenor.
