        You are correct all I was saying as a Retired Marine I don’t like to be called a Soldier. I have respect for all branches of the services. I had the opportunity to fight side by side with Soldiers and they did a hell of a job.

        This is what we call a Commander and Chief. We are losing a real leader in General Mattis.

        I know most will focus on the “storm clouds looming” but the rest of the letter is what’s important here. Blessed all who us safe...and protect this wonderful experiment called democracy.

        I'm not sure who said it but "wherever you find democracy a bloodbath is sure to follow" We live in a constitutional republic sir.

        I'm not sure why people always say this, it's a democratic republic. Our representatives are elected. It's a representative democracy.

        Ideally, unless you live in one of our more heavily Gerrymandered states. Then you live in a a Kleptocracy, where they say things like the guy you responded to, as a rationalization of their support of the Oligarchy.
