Jeanne Shaheen: ‘Disappointing’ that Fallen Soldiers Have ‘Become a Political Issue’

‘It should not be a political issue’

EXCERPT:

SHAHEEN: "Well, again, an investigation is underway. We need to get answers from that. It’s unfortunate that the whole incident around talking to the families who have lost their soldiers, their loved ones and this ambush has become such a political issue. What we need to do is to recognize the selfless sacrifice of our soldiers when they’ve been lost, we need to try and help the families grieve. We need to give them the privacy they deserve when they’re trying to grieve. And it’s very disappointing that this has become a political issue. It should not be a political issue when our lost soldiers are concerned."
