It makes me feel terrible. And listening to Mike talk, it just brings it all back. You know, when I deployed to Afghanistan, the people who sent us there, they told us that we were there to keep terrorism at bay. They told us we were there to keep our homes, our families, our children safe, so that only terrorists would be overseas. And now, those same people, because they’re unwilling or unable to act in Washington, are telling me that despite those deployments, I have to come back here, where my kids are doing shooting drills at school. I have to come back, I have to look my six year old and my eight year old in the eye, and I have to tell them that it didn’t work. That their school may become a war zone at anytime. It’s absolutely insane.

I actually think this might be an instance where you have to give the president some damn credit, because that is actually a very big deal.
