Really... Hmmm.. It's on par with "I'll respect you in the morning" and "I'm with the government, I'm here to help".  I see more pics of G.W.  hanging out with the troops more than I do of the "gentlemen" (and I use the term very loosely) you mentioned. 

Interesting fact- When presidents  stop at Elmendorf, tickets are allocated to the command to hand down to troops to get a chance to see the Commander in Chief.  When the Bushes came through, you could not get a ticket because almost everybody wanted to see the president.  When billy and barry came through, the command could not give away those tickets. Nobody wanted them.  The command resorted to ordering subordinate troops to attend. It was a punishment to go. 

Why is that..?
