"Mr. Luttrell was the only one of four men on the mission to survive after a violent clash with dozens of Taliban fighters.

Eight members of the SEALs and eight Army special operations soldiers who came by helicopter to rescue the original four were shot down, and all aboard were killed."

just like Nixon did in '68 and the rest of his term, who went after college radicals, the Black Panther movement, etc. The current GOP will go after the Black Lives Matter movement, liberals, women's rights advocates, American-Muslims, Hispanics, etc.

This will turn into an armed movement against these groups & it won't only be law enforcement going after these groups, it will also be armed citizenry.
