This is about the time all American service members have to think about how to keep their oath to the constitution. This isn't what they signed up for. I have also been wondering how that tide turns for them. Will they protect us from him? If we actually have a civil war, where do we get our army from? Surely many will refuse to fight for him. Many will probably choose to fight for him. I want to assume the best and instead of assuming they like what they have been told to do, they have been caught off guard, and are in the process themselves of trying to figure out what to do. Let's put daisies in their rifles and send them kisses and beg them to come back to the light. Let's help remind them they are being used, with love, if we can. Many are just kids themselves.
