Did I miss something...

Remember the rescue of the merchant ship captain from the Somali pirates? The one where Navy Seals killed three pirates when it appeared the captain's life might be in danger?

Did they ever get any public recognition from B.O. for that?

Yes, it's their job. Noted. But in past administrations we'd have seen the Seal team and that civilian captain being met at the White House by it's occupant. I'm being deliberately vague on naming that occupant because I believe Bill Clinton would have done it as readily as his predecessor or successor.

So did B.O. do something of the sort and I just missed it?

Seriously, it floors me that there might be such a genuine lack of appreciation for the actions of our troops. I'm hoping I'm wrong. Because if I'm right it's one more indicator of where we as a country are headed.

Any comments?
