ALso, am not to certain the “hell yes” was from Todd. It could have been from either of the the older children.
I bet the “hell yes” was from her oldest son, the soldier.
FWIW, an Alaskan who claims knowledge on another forum said that her trip to visit the troops was the tipping point in her decision to resign now and not complete her term. This poster said she was besieged with pleas for her help and that she was "shaken" by the indifference of the Obama administration toward national security.
