    Then you’ll just have to go through living hell if you want to make a difference for our country. Unless you’re a coward.

        Yes. They wanted to serve the people now do it. I’ve no sympathy, they asked to be there now do the thing we elected you there for.

          It doesn’t even sound like you’re on his side and think he deserves to have a rough time because he stepped up. I don’t think you deserve his service with that attitude; hopefully he doesn’t decide the same.
