In the Marine Corps, I was used to people doing what they said and saying what they mean. There was a higher purpose and calling in the Corps.

You don't want to have so much money going toward your mortgage every month that you can't enjoy life or take care of your other financial responsibilities.
My heart has been heavy and I have deliberated within my own conscience, knowing that my decision should not come out of my initial emotion of anger toward the President for such reckless behavior, but should be based on the facts.
