Great Regulars: Frances Richey: Well, we disagreed

on the war itself. I felt that we shouldn't go into Iraq, and I was very critical of the current administration. And he felt that it was his duty to go and that it was the right thing to do.

And when I criticized the administration, I wasn't thinking that I was criticizing him. We had always debated about politics, and I didn't realize that when we were arguing, when he was so close to going into combat, that it was much more personal, that it hurt him when we argued.
