Fine, you go then. I’m not willing for my children and grandchildren to die for Taiwan. And I and my husband are retired military.

BTW, do you think Trump would send troops to Taiwan? No, he would not. That’s one of the few things I like about Trump, and the main reason the deep state doesn’t want him to be president again.

I respect the fact that you and your husband served our country. It is sad that neither of you learned the salient lesson of our military missions: to keep our country safe from aggression anywhere it can and will crop up against us. We don't have much connection to Taiwan as such - but it is in a vital part of the world and it is also an ally. If we don't demonstrate that our allies can count on us, we end up with zero allies. Not a great position for us and our children and our grandchildren.

I served too, including direct combat in Vietnam and I was severely wounded. I understand the price of wearing the uniform, maybe better than most.
