[Grand Old Partisan]

Suppose one day a state government declares its independence from the United States and then fires on a U. S. Government installation, and officers and enlisted troops from that state resign from the U.S. military to join the Army of Atzlan or of Allah. Would that be trashy enough for you?

If they are no longer part of that government, the installation should be vacated one would think. Sending a federal ship into the harbor was a deliberate provocation on lincoln's part.
