Two wrongs don't make a right, with regards to your comments on the donkey party.

I know a few soldiers who privately think the President carrier landing was kinda embarressing and innappropriate. He could have thanked them from the West Wing or at their base.

It was a PR stunt; plain, simple, and obvious. It's his obligation too thank the troops as commander-in-cheif, duh.
I know several sailors who bulged with pride that their Commander-in-Chief thanked them in such an appropriate and public venue. I personally think that he did it out of true thankfulness. I know that I would have.
