[Resolute Conservative]

Exactly. My son said he refuses to join the reserves even for the bennies he could get simply because he cannot stand the president and his policies toward the military. He was a 3 tour combat Marine in Helmand province so he was no slacker either and has more insight on our military that anyone in the white hut or SecDef.

My boy is full time Air Guard (as was his father). His unit is looking at a six month deployment next year to God knows where. The unit has already spent three different deployments to the sand box. Guard and Reserve units really struggle because so many of their members are small business people.
He is really worried about this one. He gave us a heart felt summary of America, from the Revolution on and then said” I know if our base is over run, there will be no help coming”. His dad and I were in tears.
This is from a man that is a true patriot from a long line of military men stretching back to Valley Forge. He told us he serves the people and the Constitution but really fears where we are heading.
