Lesser evil is whats going on with the Military. Purges of all old school brass without a peep from those patriots in the GOP is whats going on with the military. Voluntary departure of enlisted because the patriots in the GOP refuse to stand by them when Barry and Val go on a weekly new social justice crusade and social restructuring.

They revealed this about 8 years ago, but they don’t have to keep bragging and reminding these guys.
We have the capability to utterly destroy ISIS, but do we have the will?
