Come on people, get serious. He shouldn't have brought cameras along? Do you hate him or politicians in general so much that you will bitch about anything?

There were what 600 soldiers who actually got to see him in person? By taping it, the footage gets shared with the others that couldn't be there, it gets shared with the rest of the troops around the world who see that he cares enough to go visit them, and it gets shown to the rest of the American people who needed a morale boost after all the tragedy wrought by the killings of our soldiers in both Afghanistan and Iraq (and everyewhere else that soldiers are dying whether in training or in combat).

I guess by your reasoning, the President shouldn't make speeches either since it's probably just about him grandstanding. Perhaps a little memo out to everyone is the way to go.
