For the first time, Bush revealed a personal way in which he has tried to acknowledge the sacrifice of soldiers and their families: He has given up golf.
"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” he said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."

Some of the comments following the story are absolutely asinine. Fun stuff.
Meanwhile, I hear Dick Cheney has given up crushing bunnies with his hands in a sign of solidarity with the troops.
"I mean, it just wouldn't look right, me crushing Bambi (sic) while some poor hick too dumb to get a deferment takes a mortar to the face," Dick said.
Somehow if we make fun of this, according to some of the commentators, we are just proving that Democrats are meanies.
4077 dead Americans and just over 30,000 wounded Americans for those of you keeping track at home.
According to justforeignpolicy.org over 1.2 million Iraqis have been killed due to the invasion.
But thank God, no golf.
