I'd prefer he'd say, "I'm sorry I killed your kid" at a military funeral, of which he's attended none.

What is it, less than 1% of the US population are in the military. That would mean 99% are cowards and/or don't meet the critieria.
That 1%, which I am a part of, provide freedom, freedom to do as you please.
Whether you know it or not, this war has been going on longer than this country is old. We got envolved in a religious war. If you choose to believe that or not, it's the truth. We choose a side, we choose to defend those who cannot defend themselves. If that were not true, why would we give weapons to those who we help protect, Israel.
You can't argue against facts.
It wouldn't matter if it were a repubican or a democrat, or any other political part. I choose to defend this country with my life, as did the rest of that 1%, and I know we all have our different view points, however, that doesn't matter while I am working. But to say this is a personal war, that's ignorant.

I find your use of the phrase "his war" disingenuous. The war was approved by Congress, who despite some members later claims, for purely political reasons, of having been "misled" fully knew the reasons for it..
Congress, which unlike ignorant anti-war bloggers, actually pays attention to the factual reports of the war, and knows the reasons we're there in the first place, could pull out anytime those reasons ar no longer valid.
The reason we're still there is that even the Democrats who criticize the war, in order to pander to their ignorant followers, realize those reasons are still valid.
That being said, the President has often thanked the members of our military, and will no doubt continue to do so. Perhaps that's why his greatest support comes from those who are over there and see what we are really accomplishing.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but this isn't his war. Public Law #107-40 was passed by the Congress on September 18, 2001 and we began offensive military operations in Afghanistan shortly thereafter. Public Law #107-243 passed in the Congress in 2002 and authorized offensive military operations against Iraq, which we began on March 19, 2003. The reasons for those operations against Iraq were almost identical to the ones contained in Public Law #105-338 (Iraq Liberation Act), which passed in the Congress in October of 1998.
So, let us call it what it is. A war against terrorism which was acceded to by the Congress of the United States in reaction to the attack on America and the intransigence of the Iraqi regime to comply with UN Security Council resolutions. I'm not in that war, although I did volunteer to come back on active duty from the Retired List a few days after the attack on America of September 11, 2001. Federal law barred that action because of my age. But, I did serve in the Cold War and fought in the Vietnam War. I never started receiving any thanks for that until this nation was attacked. Each time one of the folks who has suddenly discovered the presence of our armed forces thanks me these days I thank them for the check.

he has said thank you. and he said he thanked the families of those soldiers too.
watched it on the news day before thanksgiving or the day before that..not sure which one.
and the newscaster didn't realize that his mic was on and hes the one that say "for what?"
our president may be stupid....and he not do what the majority of this country wants---but hes still the president. all the protesters in the world aren't going to change his mind. its his job just as its the militarys job to fight his war. and they know that. why would they join if they weren't willing to fight in the war---its part of the life they lead.

Your question shows the hypocrisy of liberals seeing that they would rather be spitting on the troops...
