1. That soldier's comment was excellent -

and I continue to just watch these clips with a big smile on my face.

What was that stuff he was ladling into the cup -- anybody know?

2. I think that was oatmeal with raisins.

3. looked like it might be raisin oatmeal

I just hope it wasn't scrambled eggs...

[unapatriciated]

5. I also watch with a smile and a few tears in my eyes.

I would love to see the majority of enlisted go for Obama.

I think McCain is probably kicking himself for calling Obama out on visitng the troops.

I have never seen such a genuine warm welcome from the troops for McCain or Bush as these clips have shown for Obama.

:patriot:

6. I think he said something about the grits looking good but

he was trying to eat healthy, so oatmeal's a good guess.

These clips make me smile too. I bet the troops in Afghanistan feel especially forgotten, so this means a lot to them.

4. I never saw this much enthusiam on the troops faces when Shrub visited.

7. Doing your duty and showing enthusiasm is so obviously different, ain't it.

8. A man always at ease. Whether amongst soldiers,

Or in the next AP video, talking to President Karzai.
