It's not just men and material. It's more than equipment, family time, bonding, child births, Christmas, or that. It's golf. (source: the Politico, from Yahoo)
That's right. The President no longer golfs, due to the Iraq War. He felt it in bad taste that he would go and play a game on the government dime while scores of thousands of American soldiers are fighting an insurgency/civil war of his creation. What a sacrifice.
Think of those poor Country Clubs who are losing out on the dues the President would have been paying to golf. But, we do need to maintain solidarity with the parents of those young men and women who have died for a war whose motive has changed over the years.
I'm curious, though. When is Jenna Bush or her new husband going to don a uniform and serve over there, or anywhere? How about George P. Bush? Maybe, just maybe, if some of these folks serve, then the President can feel just in working on his short game again.

He could have just quietly stopping playing golf, but no, he had to be crass and make a big deal about. Oh, WHAT A SACRIFICE YOU'RE MAKING, GEORGIE! I'm sure all those mothers/fathers/siblings/spouses/children who have lost a loved one feel much better now.
Heh... if only it were true...
Tacky enough of him without the lie already.
Another "GOTCHYA" moment ;-)
