This was excellent. Three great Americans on this panel that I was honored to serve with at some point during my career. Thank you for sharing!

I had the great privilege of serving in the 1st Marine Division in Iraq when these great men led the "Blue Diamond". Gen Mattis was the CG, Gen Kelly was the Deputy CG, and Gen Dunford was the Chief of Staff. Amazing leaders!

And i know you've heard the rebuttal to that a lot of time. But you're too stubborn to understand things.

Get the government to show some well earned respect would definitely help improve new sign-ups. Republicans are terrified to spend a dime unless it profits them in some way.
