1. Sitting here, eyes filled with tears...
That was powerful, moving and heartbreaking. My heart goes out to the families and friends of those soldiers, and to our President, as well. I've never seen him look so pained...

4. Please rec this up.
IMO, this belongs on the front page more so than a sex scene does.

6. Agreed ! This is not where he wished he could have been
and both the wars are not over yet.

Took some integrity to go there.

Love or hate his politics, he is a good man.

15. It's obvious you didn't read my posted article.
But on your point - There shouldn't be any dead soldiers coming back from Iraq or Afghanistan to salute. How about that?
