    He's the CiC, the US military is HIS miltary lol

    It's just military speak and he no doubt picked it up from HIS commanders. For instance a Carrier Group Commander will talk about HIS carrier, SOCOM considers all the US forces under his command to be HIS soldiers, etc etc.

    No big deal here.

    I think the big deal is the appearance of the boy king playing with wooden soldiers with no regard to law or consequences...

    Yes, it is big deal. The military is not HIS and he's never been in military, so claiming it's just military speak is dumb.

    Often times those people are right. This clown has proven time and again his so-called leadership is questionable at best, downright horrendous at worst...

    His comment isn't EVERYTHING, so quit with that defense. It's shallow.

    Oh for the Love of God, do you understand that as President he IS the top of the chain of command for the military and so it is HIS military?

    Do you also understand that when people spend time around others, they tend to pick up their mannerisms? Colonels and above in every branch tend to call their men , Obama no doubt picked up the habit from them.

    This is partisan whining, and nothing more.

    I don't disagree with that, but that doesn't make calling the US military HIS military stupid or wrong.

    Yall are the little boy who called wolf, eventually everyone else is just like shut the (*)(*)(*)(*) up, even when you have legitimate gripes.

    ^ Dispondent provides further evidence that he's nothing but a baby and a troll, as if further proof were needed.

    Obama the nobel peace prize winning president is now talking like his generals? Huh!

    Obama the man who can barely bring himself to even meet with his generals is now spending so much time with his generals that he talks like them?

    Then put me on your ignore list or just (*)(*)(*)(*)...

    You have made no compelling argument to support your so-called claims, speech by association is hardly compelling...

    Oh, I have made a compelling argument, you just made up your mind when you read the word "obama" so ...........

    Military commanders call their units THEIR men, like it or not , Obama is the commander of the entire US military, making it HIS military.

    Those are facts, sorry you don't like them troll boy.

    Can you reference another president that used such terminology? As far as I can remember all recent presidents refer to them as our military, not their own... See that would be a compelling argument, evidence this was actually a common occurrence from multiple presidents. That would likely shut up every doubter...

    Not one to defend Obama, but seriously? There are ton of other things to harp on him about. This petty stuff just makes other people who oppose him seem whiny. This isn't even that bad especially compare to Obama's pronunciation of corpsmen.

    As much as don't like Obama, at least he thinks before he decides to put lives at risk. The last guy didn't care at all.

    The trouble is that it's only his military when things go right and obama wants to take credit for it.

    In this statement that the OP has got himself so worked up over, Obama was not taking credit for ANYTHING.

    The time to think is before he puts his foot in his mouth.

    Obama got off script when drew a line in sand but did not know what to do when Assad crossed it.

    Now if he can't think of a face saving way to back out he will have to start a war.

    I'm looking at his five year record.

    Obama loves to bask in the sun when the topic is killing Osama bin laden but was not even in the war room when Americans died in Benghazi.
