We need to start a drumbeat. That's been scoffed at, elsewhere here, but it should not be underestimated. Start the pressure. Contact the local media. Contact the local Veterans of Foreign Wars and other veterans groups. If they make like they want to give her cover, they need to be reminded of the points of that code outlined here in this very thread. Maybe they've "conveniently" forgotten. And then make noise about THAT. Put them on the spot. Force them onto the defensive position. MAKE 'EM DENY IT.
Has anybody noticed that the only time shit like this really gets addressed is when it's dragged into the spotlight so EVERYBODY can look at it and read about it and hear about it and gossip about it. It's the new "town square." It's the new "over the backyard fence." You START THE DRUMBEAT. They forget, this President they hate so much and want to screw so badly is also THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF ALL UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES. BOTH HERE AND ABROAD.
If indeed she's of the military, and indeed she is, then she IS and must be held to this. So should TRAITOR tom cotton. For heaven's sake, he's seen combat over there. He should know better than to pull a stunt like that poisonously-rebounding letter of his. And she should know better than to affix her signature to it.
The only way they can survive this is if everybody else cooperates in turning a blind eye, thus letting it be slipped out the back door in the dark.
PRESSURE. Like Cowbell. Need MORE.
