Its long, oval table, white wall-to-wall carpeting and large flat-screen TV were the converse of the dusty, bare camp the President had just left. I asked him if any service members other than Hemming had raised concerns about the rotation schedule and deployments to Iraq. He said, "One guy, you know, went out of his way to let me know that...
