   Why hasn't @realDonaldTrump after more than a year in office visited US troops in #Iraq or #Afghanistan? Your thoughts please? Is this something a President should still do in person?

Barbara Starr is the defense correspondent for CNN (some see her as the Pentagon spokesperson on CNN).


Is Barbara reporting news or is she trying to shape events?

We wonder because Barack Obama was president for two terms -- eight years.  During those eight years, he visited Iraq only once.  How many times did Barbara Starr Tweet wondering if once was enough?

Never.

You know what else the Pentagon correspondent has never Tweeted?

"When does the war end?"

Donald Trump visiting or not visiting the troops is an issue to her.  Ending the war?  Not at all.
