A post from a "Republican military veteran" on the Republicans for Obama site:

In my opinion as a U.S. Army veteran, the Bush administration has "dropped the ball" in terms of providing quality health care for our wounded and disabled active-duty personnel and our veterans ...our troops have not been --at least consistently-- provided with proper body armor, vehicular armor, and other essential materiel they need to complete their mission. We have 4,000 dead and roughly 20,000 wounded, troops serving multiple combat tours, and radically and constantly shifting military objectives (all detrimental to troop morale) ...

As much as I personally admire Senator McCain, voting for him as president would feel like giving George Bush's failed military leadership and foreign policies a third term to make more of a mess. I do not see any significant difference between Bush's military policies to date and McCain's proposals platforrm for national security ...

Senator Obama captured my attention when he said (in two televised debates, so far) that he would, as president, try to capture or kill Osama bin Laden if he knew where the Al Qaeda leader was hiding in Pakistan, and that he would do it with or without the cooperation of Pakistan’s president ... I am sick and tired of seven years of Osama Bin Laden's continuing televised threats against our nation and our people. President Bush has lost focus on bringing Bin Laden to justice. Senator Obama won't coddle Pakistan's leaders if he believes Bin Laden is in Pakistan.
