Army wife on husband who was shot at Ft. Hood soon going to Afghanistan: "At least he's safe there and he can fire back, right?"

I have noted before how Army bases are gun free zones. From an interview on that aired on CNN on November 9, 2009:

MANDY FOSTER, WIFE OF PVT. JOSEPH FOSTER: I was actually at home with our two children and, no, I did not know where he was at the time. . . .

ROBERTS: And you're still scheduled for deployment in January?

J. FOSTER: Yes.

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

J. 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?

M. 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. . . .
