27 Times The Commander-in-chief(u.s) Visited Combat Zone. by Smithwesson7: 7:35pm On Apr 07, 2020 |
Sometimes its really painful when leaders of thoughts and elders try to twist words to defend the indefensible. This is a response to Tony Momoh's position that General Buhari is not neccesitated to visit Nigerian troops in combat zones. He posited that the president can monitor the troops from anywhere he so pleases. 27 Times the Commander-in-Chief Visited a Combat Zone Below are 27 instances the U S president visited combat zones.

To all those that have served and are still serving, George Bush is the man. I remember how he gatecrashed and served dinner to all servicemen in one of the thanksgiving dinners in Iraq, it was a fun and an unforgettable moment. 1 Like |
