KABUL, Afghanistan Senior Republican Sen. John McCain arrived in Kabul Thursday for a surprise visit to American troops in Afghanistan to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday.
McCain presided over a reenlistment ceremony for about a half dozen U.S. soldiers in Kabul.
A member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and unsuccessful presidential candidate, McCain was accompanied on the visit by Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Both of the senior U.S. lawmakers commented upon their arrival on the military-led political transition which was playing out in Egypt, urging the nation's new interim leadership to quickly hold new elections and hand power back to a democratically elected government.
"We view with great concern events in Egypt," said McCain. He acknowledged the "great dissatisfaction" in the Egyptian populace for how Morsi was governing, but said the U.S. wanted the military "to show us a rapid transition back to democracy," and suggested future U.S. financial aid to Egypt would be dependent on the speed of that transition.

How much did this trip cost us. I am sick of politicians spending our money on vacations. This is not going to raise the morale of troops. Sorry but they could care less about seeing McCain. Now send over Sandra Bullock then maybe we will see some raised morale. I guess we could send over Channing Tatum for the woman Military personnel.
