in their own words

It is a damned near-pathetic state of affairs when the families of our servicemen and women feel as though their military members would be safer in a war zone than at their own, American bases:

JOHN ROBERTS, CNN ANCHOR: And you’re still scheduled for deployment in January?

PVT. JOSEPH FOSTER, U.S. ARMY: Yes.

ROBERTS: And you’re still scheduled for deployment in January, there, Joe. Has this affected at all your thoughts about going to Afghanistan?

J. FOSTER: I’m still a soldier day in and day out. I’ll do my job.

ROBERTS: And, Mandy, how are you feeling about that?

MANDY FOSTER, WIFE OF PVT. JOSEPH FOSTER: At least he’s safe there and he can fire back, right?

ROBERTS: At least he’ll be able to do that if somebody comes after him.

Does anyone else see a problem with this?
