Uh, I think this was about her dig regarding fighting one’s own battles.
Fighting one's own battles is NOT a dig. It's what we taught our children when they were growing up and they never said to us, "up yours". Our children are now grown and they are respectful to others and they do stand up for themselves. One of them even stood up and defended your right to life, Jim, in Iraq!
Sorry, but I don’t think that it was a dig. It seemed to me as an expression of encouragement to stand up to the naysayers and liars. Perhaps she was also, frustrated at the lack of further action. Perhaps you were frustrated too with people proding for action. I, of course, don’t know. However, I remain convinced that the reaction was inappropriate, especially from someone in your position and of your stature.
