Members of Congress do (and, IMO, should) visit with troops. There should be at least some level of trust in these visits. But this scam takes that all away.

While in theory, this makes sense, we all know that certain critters can not be trusted!

On the bright side, our troops KNOW they are being used as political stunts. One of our wounded warriors told me last night (naming no names) that he "guesses it is nice they come to see some of us" that they know it is political because they drag camera crews and reporters with them.

This same soldier said they know those who are there because they care, citing Colonel North, as one who actually visits because he cares about them. He followed that statement with a big smile and a "I love that guy!"

Good point. The camera crews and reporters are a good clue. :-)
