I am of the opinion that the President is aware of these things. Why the President chooses not to attend funerals is a good discussion topic, but I am putoff by the insinuation that the President believes that a soldier is simply a SS number, without a face or a family. This negative thinking is poisonous to the thinker and all those who become contaminated by association.

~~I would agree. Even the generals who order the missions know the cost of what they do. We are waging war and it has a price.~~
