I’m the biggest fan of the U.S. military there is, and if it weren’t for a disqualifying condition I’d probably be flying something with the stars and bars down the side of it.

So when I hear that President Obama is tabling the request to send more troops to Afghanistan at the request of his top commander in the field, gentle terms would suggest I was a bit peeved.

And then it was revealed that he had only talked to his top leaders in the ground once since taking office in January.  What a disgrace.

The President has the ultimate say on troop levels and mission strategy, and he is ultimately accountable for the lives of our soldiers in battle.

Personally I think he owes the families of those serving our great country a bit more time in the briefing room making command decisions than on television pitching some half thought out health care plan or traveling over seas to lobby for the Olympics.

The Commander-in-Chief’s true colors are starting to show, and it’s clear he has a tough time making a very serious and critical decision.

If the man doesn’t wish to talk to his commanders in the field, it’s only right that the troops be called home until we get someone in office that can make decisions about the fate of our soldiers.
