I think, first of all, it is a little sad that we are not remembering what this individual did for the respect of the military, leaving millions of dollars behind and voluntarily enlisting and going over and serving.
I think that if we as Congress would actually say that this is a commitment we want to follow through on, that we could find a way to do it if we are willing to take on entitlements, if we are willing to take on the rest of the budget…
I think that we are pretty good at working with opposition groups, as well we should be, in many parts of the world in order to help create a better understanding of democratic systems.
I'm never going to be Cal Ripken anyway in terms of consecutive votes, so I guess if I'm going to miss one this is a good reason to be missing it.
