It's taken me most of the evening, reading a bit then walking away to take deep breaths and pet the dog, to read your take on this stuff. And getting your take on it was one of the first things I wondered about when the memos were released.

But when I sat to do msg you and ask if you'd had the time to look over them... I found couldn't do that. If you wanted to talk about it or needed to talk aobut it, sign me up. But my military childhood and military spouse experience toldme that we don't ask our troops to talk about it. We don't pry.

It's going to take me days to assimilate this information, and then I know I am going to be cold and angry and wanting answers. T
