I’m a lifetime member of the American Legion and the VFW (Department of NH), a former 1st Vice and Post Commander in those organizations, respectively. I’ve also been a member of the DAV, AmVets, TREA and NCVA for decades.
I’m retired enlisted (Navy), 20 years active, 10 years Fleet Reserve, subject to recall, serving under eight presidents (Eisenhower to George H.W. Bush), all Army or Naval officers, none of whom would have considered, much less attempted, an insurrection to overturn an election to retain power.
I feel betrayed by the veteran community which, by their collective silence, condones the caustic words and reckless, inhumane, and (often) illegal actions of the commander-in-chief. I argue we shouldn’t accept the immorality, corruption, criminality and cruelty of this president or his administration.
