This past Sunday, my husband and I were at the 49th State Brewing Co. in Anchorage, Alaska. The bar was extremely crowded, and first come, first serve. My husband spotted two seats at a crowded table, walked over and asked if we could take the seats. Everyone was very welcoming and said come on over, and made room for us. Introductions were made, etc etc. One of the gals in the group we were talking to is a Lieutenant Colonel in the army, working for the Pentagon. She is only 3 degrees separated from the new female secretary of the army. Very impressive young black woman (showed us video of she and her besty getting tased together as part of training). She is on assignment for the next 2 years to go around the country interviewing military personnel as to why they are not signing back up, leaving early, why they think the recruitment goals are not being met. I seriously had to bite my tongue. I could have told her everything this article points out, without even being in the military. HOWEVER, it was the last night of a great vacation to celebrate our 30th anniversary, and I didn’t want to get into it with everyone at the table. Most were obvious liberals, and I was just glad to get a seat. I hope the people she interviews are honest with her.
Yep, sometimes best to bite the lower lip and try to remember what they look like. Because you may be defending your life against them one day.
