My friends in the military tell me that Clinton made a right mess of things for them. Maybe that is something we civilians wouldn't necessarily be privy to on a daily basis. The fact is that all our Presidents do a little posturing for photo opps on various holidays and other national occasions. We shouldn't be surprised by this one.
