I'm 100 percent serious. I've been fighting for equality for women's issues my entire life, in the military included.

I just genuinely believe in the concept of redemption and renewal, so I was happy. When I get beyond my feelings, I had my own family and friends and so many women across America come to me and say their blood was boiling, asking me how this could happen.

I'm not in love with David Petraeus. But I think he does present a terrific role model.

It's the fact that you can reduce my whole life to one word, whatever it is, my entire career, my service to my country, my academic rigor, my courage in going to interview terrorists, and refugee camps, and third-world prisons.

I was incredulous as the bias of the media in terms of the candidates [for presidency]. I was incredulous at the fake news.

The word is a label and I don't like it at all.

[Fighting for equality for women] that's what my mission has been for the last years.
