A man who lost a son to the war in Afghanistan is disappointed in the condolence letter he received from President Barack Obama.

Tom Logan, a Willis resident, calls the note late, impersonal, disrespectful and essentially a form letter.

"It opened up a wound in our heart you can't fix. You can't send another letter. You can't make it right," Logan said.

“Young said that it appears Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, wrote more personal, individualized, sometimes hand-written notes to the families of soldiers.”
****

He actually did and Dubya was sincere when he talked to our soldiers and their families. Odumbo was most probably at the golf course when he asked an intern to make a print out for him.

Heck, why the F am I even comparing these 2. obama is a public toilet compared to Bush’s throne.

“...impersonal, disrespectful...”

Add cold and hateful plus a few other choice adjectives and he’s got Obuma perfectly. Obuma cares nothing about our military.

I get one of those letters, and I become war. Band of dads

Obama reminds me of that little ghetto punk working at McDonald (and this one was not on welfare). He laughed at me for wearing military style clothing. I said I was in the military.

Like 16 year olds, they come out of these schools brainwashed about their selves, they are so arrogant. They do not see my military bulk or the fact I have a military ID, they just get butt hurt and think they are the military and the veteran is not.

This is the essence of the mentaly ill pro-revolution mindset. They all think they know and do better, until you ask them if they want to be treated at their ghetto hospital or at the Boston Mount Zion Whatever Jewish hospital instead.

Dear Sir;

Consider the source. I wish we had a different sort of a President, and maybe, God willing, we can soon. We have endured this horse’s rear end for much too long as it is; and also her husband.

I'm kind of torn on this subject. I can understand the Fathers resentment and disgust since he lost a son and received an impersonal form letter. However, the members in the unit normally send letters that are personal and provide greater detail than officially given. I just can't imagine Lincoln or Roosevelt writing thousands of letters after a particularly bloody battle. I understand that Bush was more compassionate and empathetic leader but that just seems to be his nature.
I can fault Obama for a lot of things but not necessarily this. For me a more despicable act is to visit Dover AFB and pose for photos with incoming deceased service members.

This was a blue-eyed, freckled Texan. Wonder what treatment Holder's peeps get?

During a time of great crisis for The United States of America, President Obama ran to Las Vegas and hid. He then said that his campaign workers are as brave and selfless as the Soldiers on patrol in Afghanistan. If you’re sure of that, Mr. President, send some of your campaign workers to Afghanistan and let them go out on patrol. What a jackass.

[Hulka]

Understood. In Obama’s case, don’t send a letter. To send a form letter is adding hurt, not helping.

A letter from your child’s murderer.

Unimaginable. But there it is.

It does not surprise me in the slightest that the ultimate narcissist Ubama would shrug off military casualties the way he does. I have little doubt the form letters are signed with an auto pen.
