I wouldn't want any of my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, or any of their children and friends serving under this illegitimate regime.

They are sent into ambushes.
Set up to have the world hate them.

And damned if they follow orders and damned if they don't.

They are in harm's way and in no win situations.

the worlds greatest Military force, one I was proud to serve in with it's long and rich tradition, is being systematically destroyed so Pedonald and his cohorts can get richer and richer while our young service men and women suffer the consequences.

All for his goals of money, power, ego and his sadistic whims.
