Obama's never had a military before

He wants to play with it. I remember when he first took office and there was talk he might get a fancy new helicopter and there was some opposition to it. Obama said that he never had a helicopter before and the one he already had was cool enough by him.

I think he is really getting into the "having my first military" thing. He seems to look up to the Generals and is becoming increasing impressed with the soldiers and marines he comes into contact with. He is probably listening to them as well.
