1. The bipartisan deal Sanders negotiated became a Brookings Institute case study for working across

the aisle.

“War should be in my view, the last resort of a great nation. We should explore every other option -- and I know that opens up the political types: ‘Oh, you’re wimpy. You don’t want to go to war.’ Well, I don’t accept that. I’ve talked to too many people who came home without legs, without eyesight, with traumatic brain injury,” he said in an interview with the Des Moines Register.

And many who came home say nothing about what they came home with or without.



Aka, an apology doesn't cut it.

4. On this past Tuesday...

Had a young military guy, wife and toddler at work.

We didn't get to talk to them as they were asleep most of the time but we knew he was either involved with or was doing something with Wounded Warriors.

He was a double leg amputee.

I so wished that I could have talked with them but really only got to say hello at the last minute.
