A US Military Veteran's perspective; After 911, our Government declared a War on Terror, and deployed soldiers all around the globe to fight it. As a Combat Vet, I'm often asked, why our soldiers fight far from our home. Here's what I tell them; We fight over there so people here don't have to experience the horrors these people mean to bring here. So our citizens do not experience what we do while deployed. And, what is happening now, on these Universities, is a slap in the face of our sacrifice. These woke, entitled, students, while my brothers are fighting, and sacrificing, have invited our nations enemies onto our soil. They're aiding and abetting them, knowingly, or unknowingly, to make a flanking move around our forward lines. They are being indoctrinated, purposely, by forces they don't understand. It has to stop. By any, and all means, available These are not peaceful protests.... These students, are not being brave. They're uneducated pawns of America's enemies.
