It seems as though the person currently in charge of our military finds that it is necessary for him to send troops into California. It’s the right thing to do, he says. Let’s put the shoe on the other foot — when hundreds of of people were violently breaking down the doors to the U.S. Capitol, injuring 174 police and within 36 hours, five people died. Where was this head of our military man? Even at the pleas of his closest advisors and family members he was just taking in the action of his “patriots ” on television. This not a person to be in charge of our country nor anything else. His head will swell June 14 at the big parade. Look Mr. Putin, look Kim Jong-un, I have a bigger better parade than you.
