32. We wonder why

A black footballer takes a knee during the total Bull
shit National Anthem.
This vet will not stand, remove my hat or put hand over heart. (Maybe as my heart breaks any more to ease the pain) I will not mumble the words. Most likely never be at any event where it is done. Not until this evil takeover is taken down. So God Damned embarrassed of the country I served.
Will we ever recover? I am having sever doubts we can.
I never dreamed such a wimpy, limp ass Pack of billionaires could bring our nation down. With all the billions spent on training the most elite special forces on the planet, this is what will end us. While they smirk, lie and steal it all.
RIP my brothers and sisters of color and all nationalities. I, like most veterans will never forget you and the sacrifice, no matter how much this white regime tries to erase you.
