Is there the slightest chance that normalizing these people will not eventually happen? If so, please let me know how you see it playing out, because frankly I’ve lost all hope that anyone in DC will do the right thing here.

I don't know.

I do know that I never compromise on an important issue like this because either I, or someone else thinks it is going to eventually fail.

I know the founders of this great country did not have this attitude either or they never would have engaged the greatest military force in their time with the ragged and small military they had at their disposal at that time.

Laudable. When DC calls me for advise I will also refuse to compromise.
