Are you a former Marine? Just because you may know a few Marines, do not presume to speak for all of them. I would suggest you compare the reactions not only of Marines but the other service personnel as well. How many Marines do you see in this picture just dying to talk to this Resident? If this were President Bush, whom they knew really did give a damn about them, you would see these Marines crowding around him to shake his hand. This is NOT what you see in this picture. And I can tell you this Marine, if I were still on active duty, would not want this man to so much as touch my uniform.
Thanks for your service, and your perspective...
This guy should not interrupt the Marines' meal. Could he not at least wait until they were done eating. His visit caused some of them to have to eat cold food.
