If a Republican President sent the same letter to 17 families of deceased servicemen, the uproar from the media would have be deafening. However, last year when this occurred in Afghanistan, the Dictator sent the same letter to all families as is shown in the following post from the Blaze.
Not only is this insensitive and disrespectful, it shows how out of touch this man is when it comes to the "common American". He has never served in the military so he has no understanding of what it takes to be away from family for months or years on end and not knowing if you will come back. The families have the ever present fear that one day they will get the dreaded message that their son or daughter has been killed. It is obvious that he has no concerns for military families and we would assume the entire military itself.
One of the basic requirements of any government is to protect the country. The military does that overseas, the police and border patrol do it here. In each case, he has reduced the effectiveness of the people trying to execute their orders. He has cut the military budget, even when his Defense chief, Leon Panetta, screams that it will hurt the mission. He has cut border patrol so much that these people do not know how or what they are supposed to do.
Obama is succeeding at one thing--he is changing America. He is crippling our military, opening our borders and spending us into oblivion. However, the treatment of deceased servicemen is beyond horrendous. It strikes at basic human decency. No family should ever receive a form letter! Should a similar tragedy ever strike the President or his family, maybe at that time they will realize the callousness of their actions.

FAMILIES OF FALLEN SEALS ALLEGEDLY SENT FORM LETTERS WITH PRESIDENT’S ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE
Thirty U.S. service members were killed on August 6, 2011, when a CH-47 Chinook was shot down in Afghanistan’s Wardak province. As Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft reminds us, it is the deadliest single loss of U.S. forces in the Afghanistan campaign.
Among those killed in the crash were 17 members of the U.S. Navy SEALs. And although the deadly attack was over a year ago, it wasn’t until yesterday that, apparently, parents of fallen SEALs revealed that were sent stock letters with President Obama’s electronic signature.
“Yesterday, Karen and Billy Vaughn, parents of Aaron Carson Vaughn, spoke at the Defending the Defenders forum sponsored by the Tea Party Patriots outside the RNC Convention in Tampa. Karen brought a copy of the form letter they were sent following their son’s death,” Hoft reports.

But wait. There’s more.
“Karen Vaughn reached out to the parents of the other SEALs killed in that crash,” Hoft adds. “Their letters were all the same. Form letters — signed by an electric pen.”

After a closer inspection of the letter sent to the parents of Chief Petty Officer Nicholas H. Null, it would appear that it’s exactly the same as the others:

“After the deadliest single loss of US forces in Afghanistan, Barack Obama sent out form letters to the parents,” Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft writes.
