Imagine a WaPo reporter in WWII embedded with the Nazis or Imperial Japonese and sending reports like this home.

Imagine that same reporter trying to regain entry into the US without the threat of a swift trial for treason and a slow walk to the gibbet.

We are not the people we were back then. Consequently, we are not the Nation we were back then.

Then our leaders had courage.

Then our citizens had pride in America and what it stood for and were self reliant.

Then the media was for America.

Then our Servicemen/women were respected In America and their leaders supported them.

Contrast that with what we have now across the spectrum.
