I couldn't care less that Reid isn't getting to see his pomegranate trees. He was hired to do a job, so he needs to do it without moaning. If he misses his trees so much, I'm sure there are many people in Washington who would be glad to show him the door. He sickens me when I think of all our soldiers on foreign battlefields who are losing limbs and lives, yet he is pining over his pomegranate trees. Poor old thing is out of touch with reality again...
I was Pining For The Fjords every time I deployed or was sent on a remote duty or went TDY in my 20 years in the military. When I got tired of it, I found a new job.
