We need a "Walk Away" from the US Military

campaign.

Deploying troops on US soil ought to be a bridge too far.

It's easy for me to talk now since I retired from the military years ago, but I would like to think I would not have served this fucking prick.

I served under Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush II and Obama (one of my proudest possessions is President Obama's signature on my Retirement Certificate).

Although I did not agree with a lot of those Presidents, I never saw them as a dire threat to our Democracy.

This ass-pickle is quite different.

I'd like to think I wouldn't have continued serving with this piece of shit as CinC

And he's soooo glad he did. He is livid about Dotard's bloviating about deployment on our soil. I should disclose that he was National Guard.
