Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Iraq ain't no Hawaii

I certainly can't speak for every soldier, but those I've talked to haven't given glowing reviews and are glad to be the hell out of there!
I'm sure if they had their choice, they would rather be sleeping in their own bed stateside than sleeping in Iraq. Likewise, I'm sure if you asked the soldiers who served in D-Day if they would have rathered spent the day on Myrtle Beach instead of Normandy, France, they would have chosen Myrtle Beach. My point is that regardless of what they thought about the situation, they gave it their all and served admirably. Don't treat these soldiers as victims; treat them as heroes.
