Depends what the motives are based upon.
Are those motives truly to honor the troops or are they for obscenely arrogant and narcissistic personal/political motives such as to divert attention off the multitudes of scandals, lies about healthcare, etc., by the America-despising, military-hating, Muslim-aiding and abetting, Frank Marshall Davis-mentored, Christian-hating (e.g., abortion support required by law every American in his 'signature legislation' ), Marxist/Alinskyite, on whose watch, for example, the VA scandal has gone viral after he had promised in campaigns over and over he would 'fix' and an administration that has obfuscated information from Congress and all Americans on details of the worst terrorist attack on American interests since 911 ?
I know he does not have any pure motives when meeting the troops or really when he does anything that would be deemed patriotic.
