The troops in the field (not including the decorated officers) are not concerned with photo-ops that were the signature of GWB and his sycophants who visited Iraq and Afghanistan over the last eight years. The non-coms simply want to know what their true mission and objectives are.

Symbolism is important in leadership. The trip would be mostly a dog and pony show, but it would demonstrate commitment. It is that commitment that appears to be lacking now, and that contributes to the low morale.

Personally, I do not believe Obama is worried about military strategy at all. He is trying to work out his political strategy, so that he can retain the shaky coalition of moderate Democrats and Leftist Democrats who cannot agree on Afghanistan.

Well if you don't know what your doing,it's better to travel to countries thousands of miles in the opposite direction.The same goes for the economy.and jobs you make a long winded speech about things totally unrelated.I personally believe we should take a serious look at Biden's take on Afghanistan.Pull the back to an area to protect the people,and themselves then mass produce the drones,and arm them with various weaponry,including daisy cutters,napalm,and all personnel annihilation weapons.Then if the government has a problem with collatrial damage shut it down,and bring them home
