It was impossible not to be moved by the Dignified Transfer ceremony Obama attended at Dover Air Force Base a couple of days ago. More pictures are here.
It's hard to say anything about it without sounding trite or partisan. It is interesting that Obama chose to do this at this time, when he is about to announce (according to news reports) that we're going to tough it out in Afghanistan, and can expect more Dignified Transfer ceremonies in the future.
This had to be a sobering experience.

It was quite a scene. And I think you could see on Obama's face that it was more than just a photo-op for him.
I don't think it's any coincidence that he did this while still deliberating on the future of Afghanistan. Seems like a chance to remind himself of the consequences of his decision.
