His attitude is inspiring to say the least. Rather than me blathering on, just watch it;

ABC News has been doing a great job lately in regards to showing the troops in a positive light. And I like the fact that they send me links. I figure that I criticized them when they were wrong, I should compliment them when they’re doing right.
