He still needs to be meeting with the Generals more than just to dress them down for speaking out of turn. He has time to shake hands for photo ops with the troops but is NOT serving in his role as COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
They have gone from having one who respected and loved them, and wept for their sacrifice, to having a pretender who literally hates them, and doesn't give a rip about their deaths or their suffering.
There were no military "photo ops" with President Bush. Obama never spends a minute with our troops (and those are very few) that is NOT a photo op.
The contrast between the two men could not be starker.
