How will military greet Obama?

Barack Obama will enter the White House without any military experience and with a playbook that emphasizes diplomacy, behind a president who waged two wars and presided over some of the largest-ever defense budget increases.

So, how will President Obama be received at the Pentagon? Much depends on his first moves.

After bush's massive f'kups and stupidity, I would think that the military would be overjoyed to have someone reasonable in charge for a change.

I would think that they would be somewhat happy to be supported in actions and not just hollow words and not have to die, but maybe that's just me!
