Unfortunately, as a veteran, I am very disappointed by the fact that we are not revisiting the situation of the early 1970s. An authoritarian president (Nixon) + lawfully protesting citizens + our good national guard and military personnel placed in a contrived “emergency” does not end well. Let’s not relive Kent State!
Thank you for this post, Lawrence. I think the world cannot have enough reminders right now of how important it is to not stop seeing people as people, even when they are in a uniform.
