It does suck that so many troops were deployed for a political stunt...

It does remind me of an episode in the military...

I'm trying to remember who it was... it was hillarious... we cleaned the ship top to bottom... shining brass and everything... no detail was left behind... we spent two weeks cleaning EVERYTHING...

He showed up by helecopter... was on the deck for a whole 30 seconds.... and climbed onto another helicopter and left...

It's an old school trick by a lot of generals and people of rank.... because he was logged as being on our ship he got a medal for being in a combat zone...
