I am in the military and every one I talked to thought it was great. Just
as the November trip to Iraq.  Of course these are stunts, but that doesn't
make them bad or unnecessary. How many troops is it that you have led? I
just finished my command tour and I am telling you that things like this
are important when you are asking young men and women to make the
sacrifices that we are asking.
