Are some wounded troops "better" than others?

Were the wounded troops visited by Obama in Baghdad somehow "less worthy" than the troops in Germany? If not, why don't they "count"?

1. They were lying in wait for Obama--they knew he had planned to go to Landstuhl, they

know perfectly well that cameras are NEVER allowed on those types of visits by Senators, and they had the Pentagon help them out in their smear by specifically referring to "cameras and press" in one of their statements. He was a target no matter what. I give Obama credit for biting the bullet and cancelling--he surely knew that the GOP would make hay about it, but erred on the side of protecting the troops from political exploitation.
