A short sentence...

Hello,

Can someone explain the sentence in bold below?

Recreation is only one source of affinity within a White House culture, people there say.

Obama veterans describe a camaraderie forged over a grueling campaign and a merciless nine months at the White House. It is not about gender, they say, but shared experience.

I would say that 'Obama veterans' refers to the people who were involved in his campaign when they all became good/close friends ( a camaraderie forged over a grueling campaign) and are now countinuing their duties at the White House.

Hi,

They worked hard together during a very difficult election campaign.
They have worked hard together for 9 months in the White House.
These experiences have made them very close friends.
