post-traumatic stress they have to endure and there s an author, richard north patterson, one of my favorite authors wrote a novel about this. he says if you put your cat out in the night overnight and spend the night lobbing hand grenades, you ll have a different cat the next morning. that s kind of the situation. many are going in, fighting an enemy they can t identify, works works with them during the day. tries to kill them during the night. the one two-year stays away from home, a real burden on the military. we have to celebrate them. they re heroic what they do out there is beyond the call of what they should be doing. it s time washington start defending them. yeah. like they defended us for so long. they re not doing it. thank you so much, william cohen. thank you, mr. secretary. sorry for the voice. you get worn out on msnbc.
