We are allowing ourselves to be controlled by a police state.
We are being intimidated in the same way the the Soviets intimidated citizens ...we can take what you have and we have made examples of those who make waves.
You are being threatened by loss of job, tax actions, smear campaigns, trumped up charges you that could wreck your life. We, the government, can take things away from you and make your life miserable ...legally. Do you want to make waves?
DoD could have jerked Major Cook’s base access because they are not “comfortable” with him. He works at someone’s pleasure and someone will comply with getting rid of the Major because they don’t want to be next to feel the wrath of Zero.
Um, no.
Just because we may not be able to prevent it does not mean we are allowing it.
