War is not theater, and victory is not a campaign slogan. I join with the president and all Americans in expressing heartfelt thanks and gratitude to our men and women in uniform for their service to our country, and for the sacrifices that they have made on our behalf. But on this point I differ with the president: I believe that our military forces deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and not used as stage props to embellish a presidential speech.
