That’s what my son said. Where’s the proof of that? Those there looked darned glad to be in his presence. I assumed they were happy that he was going to ask for more funding and pull them out as fast as possible. Are there that many who are that miserable in Iraq? All along I’ve been hearing quite the opposite.

Quote from the article: “Macsmind reveals an email from an Army sergeant who was in Iraq when Obama arrived.
“We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up.”
Take a look at the picture at AP and notice all the cameras are the same models? Coincidence? I think not.”
Our son served in Iraq and while I know that our troops miss their friends and families, I dare to say that the vast majority of them are proud of their mission and their accomplishments.
