I'm interested in a soldier's reaction to this:

I find myself to be ambivalent about emotional displays at funerals and award presentations to the families of fallen soldiers.
I view tears as a physical reaction to an emotion/feeling that probably can't be helped. What actions one decides to take with or about that emotion/feeling is another matter. That is where the truth likely shines thru.
And I don't find your response out of line. But I doubt GWB could control the tear.

Put another way, you could say I'm neither impressed nor offended by emotional displays at such moments.

If you think the tear was unavoidable, you should consider accepting it as an emotional response and likely an appropriate one.
