Isn't there an invasion at the southern border, he might as well call that a combat zone and head there for a couple pics!
Fuck "visiting troops in war zones" as a indicator of courage or, whatever.
Yes there are virtual combat zones at the US/Mexico border. Yes there are jeeps with 50 caliber guns, troops with 2" flak jackets (not just the lightweight bulletproof vests). Hell, I saw a K9 dog down there with a flak jacket!
How about good relations with NK as an accomplishment.
