Grandpa-

Bad policy led us to where we are, not loose command.

The Bush administration views the Geneva Conventions as quaint and outdated. The military on the other hand has viewed their fifty plus years of strict compliance to those conventions with pride, to do otherwise would disgrace those Americans soldiers who experienced the same types of humiliation and torture in Korea, Vietnam and the pacific theater.

That's why they opposed this new policy nearly to a man. Now you tell me what kind of Commander in Chief disregards the advice of his top military advisors on his most important military decisions? How does that affect our national security, positively or negatively?

The only answers of course are 'a poor one' and 'negatively'....and you are going to vote for him again?

How much worse would he have to screw things up before you even considered changing your vote?
