Move from a blue state to a deep red state. Wow! What a surprise!
The oath that I took in 1984 was to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. That oath is still in effect and I take it seriously.

They volunteered to do whatever military specialty they choose, they did not sign up to be litter pickers. They are following lawful orders, but those orders will kill morale and they will not reenlist which in turn hurts our military readiness.

National Guard soldiers have civilian jobs. They often get paid less when they are activated as are these soldiers, which adds another layer of sacrifice on them, all so they can pick up trash. This is BS.

Trump will offer Putin to take Alaska back for a good price, paid directly to Trump of course, in exchange for a peace deal. Then Putin will recommend Trump for the Nobel Peace prize he desperately wants, so he can be just like Obama.
