#1 Say what you will about the man politically, he truly knows the sacrifices he asked of the military and the price they paid, and I think he feels that in his heart.

With Bush at the military had a Commander-in-chief they could believe in because they had a Commander-in-chief that believed in them.

Compare that to the disdainful jerk they now have who seeks only to use them without any real care or empathy or knowledge of what drives the military: Brotherhood, Honor, Duty, Country.

#2 Loyalty and commitment goes both ways. Troops can tell a LIFER in a heart beat.

#5 I suppose Hussein figured it was a great time to hit the golf course after all the hard work of shelving the charges this week against the terrorists who killed our USS Cole Sailors.

#6 Cyber Sarge: I believe at some point, there were no fewer than 30 military installation and navy ships where Clinton was advised not to visit, as his safety could not be guaranteed.

As far as Jimmy goes, the USN was frightened of him, because sailors considered him a Jonah. Before visiting the Enterprise, an unlucky wave caused it and another ship to "bump", harming the other ship. Then a plane's hydraulics went out, they had to dump their munitions and crash land on the deck.

#7 Very moving. I cannot even begin to imagine Obama humbling himself for such photos.

#9 Could this be a Bush strategy.... a silent, albiet poignant contrast of humility against arrogance and evil?
