General Discussion

this "president" thinks nothing of sending people into war situations... and, indeed, starting wars (as in Venezuela), and doesn't give a crap who or how many are killed because of his words and actions. I see this as simply the same exploitation fervor of all billionaires. We only exist to carry out their desires.

I'm also disillusioned that my former service, the Air Force, has become so christian nationalist. In the days I served, that would have been unthinkable. We allowed everyone their religious preference, even to the point of (eventually) allowing sacred Circles for Wiccan worship on base. No more these days. If those Circles still exist, they're regularly debased and scarred by christians.

As a veteran, there is nothing this administration has done that has not sent my blood pressure to sky high levels. I can't convey to you the depth of the feelings I had when I saw the destruction of our East Wing of the WH. But that *was* just a symbol made of blocks and building material. Even more is the determined fight he has dug himself into to deny people food and other survival needs. We, as a nation, went from the premiere country fighting for Democracy, rights, and freedoms of all people to starving, kidnapping, and killing its own people. I honestly don't remember any of that in the oath I declared when I went into the Air Force, nor as I started a 20 year career in the DoD Civil Service.

And that there are people in our services who not only ascribe to his theories, but all but worship trump as a god is so disillusioning and causes not only my anger, but intense sorrow that so many people have lost their way in this world.
