U.S. President Barack Obama woke up early this morning to salute 18 fallen American soldiers that died in combat in Afghanistan.

"Dignified Transfer"

The President was present at the U.S. airbase for what is known in military circles as the "Dignified Transfer." Some stated in print and online the move was a PR stunt, while others proclaimed it an effort by the Commander-in-Chief to show the public he is conscious of the sacrifice being made by the troops serving in the military.

War is a bloody business and most people want it to end, as no one is winning in this futile battle. My condolences to the bereaved. Obama, you owe it to the American people to stop this madness George W. Bush and Dick Cheney started under false pretenses.
