The fact that he makes a big deal out of this just confirms its phoniness.  Greet a few on the balcon, but not mingle for hours with the troops?  Guess he had to go play hoops or study how other countries repress dissenters.

Watch not what he says, but what he does to our country.

This is the same guy who proposed charging wounded warriors' private insurance for their treatment of war wounds.

This is the guy who shirked a visit to Landstuhl when he found out there would be no publicity benefits available.

This is the guy who made a pro-forma visit to Walter Reed, making it more of a campaign style visit than showing actual care or compassion for the troops he commands.

THis is the guy cutting military spending while wasting heaps of money for frivlous programs designed to buy votes.

Our troops deserve better, but will have to suck it up and obey until he leaves office.

FInally, I wish a sincere "Happy Independence Day!" to all the troops and their families, and want to thank them all for their ardous service defending our freedom.  I don't need a teleprompter to do it.  And, I mean every word!
