They were not overly enthusiastic about my response: 'Let these cowards come,'” Kennedy posted on his official Facebook profile. Facebook. “They can send whoever they want, as long as they don't want them back,” she added.

And so I said, 'I'm kind of insensitive about these things, so maybe you should tell me what alarm level I should have,'" he told the Army Times website.
