KABUL, Afghanistan -
It was a scene from a spy novel.
according to that link, 3000 troops were in a hangar and he spoke to them, although the phrasing is weird. States the general gave a warmup speech, then Obama spoke to the troops and did 45 minutes of handshakes/etc. If this was a secret trip, I doubt they could get that many people into the hangar.
I’m still wondering if it wasn’t broadcast and there were not actually 3000 troops in the hangar.
Some links are saying the troops weren’t allowed but I can find anything that directly says that. How did he do photo ops and handshakes unless some troops were there?
