My father was a lieutenant commander in the United States Navy. That’s why I was born in San Diego and then found myself back in Oklahoma City when he entered law school at Oklahoma City University. My father-in-law was a bird colonel in the United States Air Force and my wife’s godfather is a U.S Air Force retired general as well. I thought of them all yesterday as Donald Trump once again embarrassed our country with his latest rally taking place not in Alabama or West Virginia, but to our troops in Iraq. As an American…I cried watching only parts of it before I couldn’t stomach anymore.
How far we’ve fallen as not only a nation but as a culture since Bush 41 is genuinely staggering. The lack of duty, the absence of empathy, the complete abdication of human decency on multiple fronts are painful to observe.
I hope America wakes up in time.
