Agree with all you said 100 percent! The man is fearless and willing to sacrifice everything - EVERYTHING - for his country.
My dad was a lifelong high-functioning alcoholic, and he was well regarded in all he did in both competency and bearing.
But of all the things he did in his life, the one that make me glow with a warm pride is when, late in his life, he got sober and dedicated much of his remaining life and leisure time to Alcoholics Anonymous.
How I love him for that gift to us.
And I feel that same respect and admiration for Mike Lindell, and for many of the same reasons related to his former life as an addict.
