President Bush served the troops. Her Highness had the troops serve her. Yup.

I'm frankly stunned that she (or her handlers) didn't anticipate the PR value of this type of endeavor, and attempt it on her own (independently of the President's object-lesson). Granted, she would have lacked the sincerity of Bush - but when has sincerity ever been an obstacle for her?

Perhaps her handlers tried, but turned the idea down as being beneath her.
