Criticizing Obamaloot for the passing remark that Americans are “fighting on my behalf” seems misguided to me. Totally unnecessary, considering all the non-controversial criticizing that could be launched his way.
As far as I can see, the American military has been “fighting on [the president’s] behalf” since the dawn of the Republic whose Constitution made presidents commanders-in-chief of the military.
Especially since presidents began taking the military to war without a declaration from the Congress. If we don’t like it (and I certainly don’t) then we need to change it. In the meantime, the troops clearly are fighting on a president’s behalf. Get used to it.
