Recently, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates sharply questioned Obama's passion for anything military related, besides his repealing of "Don't ask, don't tell." Gates said he was disturbed by the lack of any emotion or passion when it comes to the military. He also went on to compare him to previous president George W. Bush. He said that Bush was generally very unemotional except when dealing with military matters like the giving of the Medal of Honor. There were numerous people that defended Obama saying otherwise.

As for my opinion on this matter, well it's not something that chalks up to be that big of a deal. I don't think it really matters too much what President Obama is passionate about. I guess you could hope that cares about our military personnel and how are military actions can effect our country but it's not something that is of upmost importance. I guess if Bush liked the military more than Obama that's fine. You just want the President to give focus to everything that needs to be given focus not just what he personally wants to focus on, if that makes sense.
