I don’t like all this book writing they all seem to do but in thus case, I’m glad he did. I wish this would have happened sooner but it didn’t—it is what it is.

In the book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich some of the military leaders kept planning to or wanting to stand up but never really got there.

I only hope that more will decide to stand up if there is a threat or problem for/to our country—it needs to be out in the open. Hiding things and failing to address reality helped Hitler destroy his own country.

I’m glad Gates did this, even if late but this still doesn’t make me a Gates fan.

Out here in the prairie, we call this “ridin’ for the brand”. As long as you are sleeping the bunkhouse, eatin’ off the chuck wagon, and takin’ those wages, you do what the man tells you to do. When you get tired of it, you clear out of the bunkhouse, throw your tack in your pick up truck, load your horse in the stock trailer, collect your wages, and head on down the road. What you say, do, or write about after that is your business.

Actually there were several attempts by German military officers to assassinate Hitler.
