Fuck The NR. They only care because it boosts their "patriotism" to stand up for an ex military man. People have been suffering at the hands of the justice and prison system for years and years without a peep from them.. Well they peep, but it's always about money. If they could jail everyone who smoked a joint in their life they would.. but it's too expensive.
