CNN Transcript

Money quote from the CNN transcript of a soldier injured at Ft Hood:


CNN's ROBERTS: And you're still scheduled for deployment in January, there, Joe. Has this affected at all your thoughts about going to Afghanistan?

Private Joseph FOSTER: I'm still a soldier day in and day out. I'll do my job.

ROBERTS: And, Mandy, how are you feeling about that?

Mandy FOSTER: At least he's safe there and he can fire back, right?

ROBERTS: At least he'll be able to do that if somebody comes after him.

Private Foster, Mandy Foster, it's so good to talk to you this morning. Again, our condolences. We're glad to hear that you're on the mend and take care of yourselves.

M. FOSTER: Thank you.

J. FOSTER: Thank you, sir.

The perception of being SAFER in Afghanistan...
