Don't listen to the pols: What really happens in the military during a shutdown

Thank you Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling! This is a great message. I don't care what the political party is. "Deal-making" is negotiation and compromise - not intransigence or stonewalling.

One definition of deal-making is "the art of crafting deals through negotiations focused on an integrative, or value-creating process, rather than through distributive bargaining, or a haggling process."

I call BS on all of them.
