It comes with the territory. I volunteered, didn't do so for the plaudits -- I had my own reasons. One reason, yes, was the feeling that the country is worth serving, but you know what? No one in this world has to live up to my expectations, and I'd be pretty silly to expect anything more than what the American public has shown time and again. The other reasons were a bit more personal, or you could say "selfish" and not be far off the mark there either.
I'm glad Kaep did what he did, and in a way I'm glad Trump did what he did too, because it fuels this conversation, which is obviously needed in our social discourse.
