Yours is the first sensible comment I’ve seen on Free Republic on this issue today. Good for you.
I keep seeing these threads and all I can think of is which one of the armchair quarterbacks wants to be the one to look a soldier in the eye and tell him/her, “Sorry, but you keep getting your ass shot at for free while WE keep getting paid, and all the “nonessential” gov’t employees collect even more money from states that are already going bankrupt.”
NOW they know how far the dems will go and there are remedies already on the way. They used our TROOPS as blackmail and the whole country knows it. It won’t happen again. The fight is ahead. WE WILL winit.
