Thank you for that link.
It shows what I said (as usual, if I may say) was true and disputes the false assertions of others that the "whole room" erupted in cheers and applause.
Obviously some who were sympathetic to the soldier applauded, but it was hardly the outburst of "at last! the problem that's been on all our minds!!!" reaction some tried to paint.
I guess I need to repeat, lest anyone misunderstand, I do not quarrel with the question. But I like to stick to facts and not make it up as I go.
It's also fairly standard for those types of questions at a "Commander's Call" type briefing to get applause. If he had said "The food at the chow hall really stinks, when can we get better?" he would have gotten the same cheers.
