I also believe it puts the President in a very awkward position. The media, already unfair to the Boy Scouts, could use it to cast the President as insensitive.

xzins, you've been in the sacramental wine again haven't you?

If the President is planning to go he should continue to do so. If nothing else to honor their memory.

No, I disagree, Corin. (And I'm out of sacramental wine...all I've got is the good stuff! :>)

I think I might be able to live with your idea of sending home only the units affected.

However, there's no doubt that it puts the President in the position of having to acknowledge this, and opens the door to being labeled as insensitive.
