Watching the troops with the President after his speech. |
|
They are all over him. Crowding in to shake his hand, big smiles, they love their CiC.
What an awesome thing to get to watch live.

2. Jeez piss on the troops why dontcha. |

They're over there fighting and their Commander in Chief drops by for a visit and you think it's a photo op. Assange isn't the President of the USA, get over it.

11. They are there at his behest, and many will not return home |
|
I for one don't give a shit if it's a photo op. It's still sick.

20. You act like he sent school children to fight. For God's sake they're soldiers. |

And obviously bigger men than you. Fighting for their country's security is what they do.

21. Bigger men than me? When do you ship out then? |
|
I mean, you aren't some internet hippie good for nothing like me, right?
And do you deny that many more will die? Do you think it's for a good cause? Because you talk a big game, but it's their asses on the line, not yours. Easy to be a tough guy with someone's else's life, isn't it?

5. This is by far the longest handshaking he's ever done. On CSPAN we're into the 5th song. |
|
He's really trying to get to every single soldier he can.

6. Yeah and they're still crowing around. |
|
This obviously means a lot to the troops. And the President. He looks like he's enjoying every minute of it.

10. That's nice, I hope their grieving relatives in the future like him, too |
|
It might make their loss a little easier to bear, since it will otherwise be for absolutely nothing.

12. What a shame that he's sending them to their possible death in a useless and pointless war |
|
How sad that the man they admire is putting them in harm's way for no good reason.

15. No one told them that their CiC is a spineless wimp who needs to grow a pair |
|
Or whatever racist smear is being used here these days.
