President Obama, sends personalised letter to the family of Heavy D when he passed, but sent a form letter, signed by a machine to the families of fallen Navy Seals. Nice priorities Mr. President

While I would not expect any president to personally write individual letters for every fallen soldier, I would think it proper to find some time is their day to personally sign the letter instead of auto pen! Maybe then they will pause and maybe think a little harder before committing soldiers to battle, supporting the soldiers they do send to battle, and appreciate the sacrifices every soldier makes for their country...

It's an armed conflict with high rate of fatalities for our service members. Of course this is relative and any fatalities are too many, but any speculation about the autopen (bump Elite1grey) is 1) election year hijinks, and 2) a symptom of the overarching problem:
Operation Enduring Freedom Fatalities
After filtering by Country -> US, I count 37 fatalities in the month of August 2012 alone. I think we can agree that we need to get the politics out of the war. OEF has claimed 2110 US service members to date.

Disrespectful? No. Not in any way. I think our president made an excellent decision when he honored a fallen rapper with a personalized letter, and sent a form letter to the families of fallen Navy Seals. I even said that I agreed with his priorities. I believe I called them "nice", which the last time I checked was a compliment. Regardless, I am not the author of the piece, the Gateway pundit is. I simply shared the article, which I found interesting in the hopes that other would also find the article interesting.

A form letter and "sorry for your loss". Disappointing.
