Mackenzie Pidgeon:  

ould be staying in the warzone for 3 more months while watching TV. "I don't even think the guys knew about it and I think they were all notified that same time we were, on national news," She said. She says she can handle the extra time away, her husband has deployed five times in the last six years, including three tours to Iraq but she's not sure how much more her family can take. "The extension and the way the government handed it to them on a plate, I think he may just want to get out," Mackenzie said. And yet she feels the troops are doing a lot of good in Iraq and does not agree with pulling them out all at once. "We tend to focus on the negative more than we do the positive of what’s going on and in that regard they are doing the right thing and I think staying over there would be wise," She said. And while it's hard being at home alone raising two kids, the Pidgeon family is getting by one day at time. "I respect my husband and I respect what they are doing over there," Mackenzie said. The President is likely to veto the bill the first part of next week, four years after giving his famous speech that the mission in Iraq had been accomplished.
