Obama's Visit To Afghanistan - What REALLY Happened
Hey ladies, I got this email from a friend of mine that's in Afghanistan right now, he was there when Senator Obama went for a photo opportunity, this is an email he sent out to a few of us back here to let us know what REALLY happened these are his words, straight from overseas
>>>>> Hello everyone, As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to "The War Zone". I wanted to share with you what happened. He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram. As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service. So really he was just here to make a showing for the American's back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you. I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States . I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country. If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake. He's an empty suit............ In service, CPT Jeffrey S. Porter Battle Captain TF Wasatch American Soldier <<<<<<<<<<<<

The soldiers re-camp said that it was only intended for his family members though, I'm sure there is some truth to it.....I don't know who I'm voting for yet....it's like picking between the lesser of two evils...I doubt I'll vote at all

The Army has refuted it. And this soldier obviously had no idea the security measures going down. When **** Cheney was at Bagram AFB last March, it was bombed. Barack Obama's visit was extremely high profile, and they kept it under-wraps for security reasons. His visit was hushed and he wasn't allowed to "mingle". The way his visit was handled was NOT his fault, if anything this guy should blame the army for "snubbing" them. JMO It's either he gets snubbed, or Bagram gets bombed? They're taking lots of extra security measures with Barack.
