RE: A MARINE'S RESPONSE TO THE FAR LEFT AND THE FAR RIGHT
I hear you, and I respect you for your conviction and service. I also think there becomes a problem when the sitting commander in chief becomes a domestic enemy to the people and the freedom we hold dear. I'm not saying this to sway your beliefs or to get in an argument, but I feel strongly that the person in office is there in part because of foreign manipulation and that neither he nor his policies are doing the country any good. He's made a joke of this nation, more than anyone before him. I hope we rise from the ashes of this trash fire and become both more humble and willing to work together. Peace!
You are preaching to the choir girlfriend! I could not agree with you more, but as a man who has taken orders most of my life, the current situation in this Country and its elected leadership is a hard pill to swallow.
Though I am still affiliated with the military, I have been arrested at a number of protests in the past two years. The Democratic National Convention and also a non-partisan protest at our Nation's capitol. Also attended the woman's march and wore an homemade pussy hat (I crocheted it myself).
I did not speak for the military, but did speak as a former combat Veteran that is disappointed in the direction our leadership has taken. I am a bit left of center. I am an Independent Voter and a member of neither political party. Hell, I voted for Jill Stein. Her running mate during the 2016 Campaign is a Vietnam Veteran; not my reason for voting for her, but she was my candidate as I liked what she promoted: Peace and care of the earth.
I do not share this with you to brag, by no means, but so that you may understand me a little better as well as my political ideology.
Best to you and your loved ones always sweetheart.
