My son is in the Air Force and most of them are not happy about this, pile that on the stunt in Syria. The military overall cannot be happy.

to all things Trump, since the Access Hollywood tape. So I was terrified and did not want him to join. He is happy and thriving in the Air Force. Starting with the Syria stunt, watching these last couple months unfold has been a living nightmare. He is heading to Qatar in January, I realize it is fairly safe there, I still worry. He is so erratic and unpredictable, I worry about what can happen. I wish I would have fought harder. Although, I do realize how selfish this sounds, it is how I feel.
