I was a soldier under Bush and the morale was horrible. We were angry for being sent to a war that we had no need to go into and for pulling troops out of a war that we should have been in. We all wanted to catch Bin Laden instead we went into Iraq.
Obama has already done more for the troops than Bush did unless you consider having our brothers and sisters killed, maimed and traumatized doing something.
The best thing he should do right now is to direct happenings and inquiries from a distance. To show up there now would redirect resources and energies toward the president (no matter who was in office) from what is needed right now.
In the military there is rarely if ever a lot of respect for brass or for any president.

In America a person is also supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty.

All of that is fine and dandy, but at the end of the day, regardless of his religion, he is an American citizen first, and because of this, should be protected by our laws and afforded due process.
