While I appreciate the gesture, I wish we'd see more concrete actions to improve soldiers' conditions rather than just photo ops. These visits are nice but don't solve equipment shortages.

Surveillance units don't get enough recognition. Their work is crucial but often invisible. Glad to see them getting some well-deserved attention before the holiday.
