Well I have been talking about that exact same issue for 25 years, and all it gets me is marginalized and hated, but I keep doing it. I have lost jobs, friends and associations for talking about entitlement cuts and fairness for the military.
I have many veterans in my family tree. It frustrates me greatly to see the treatment they receive.
The Lord allowed us to see Paul in chains and in prison, to bring attention to his message. Book Of Ephesians.
And I will be honest, the men who are the closest to showing the world what God is all about, is the American veteran. (Not all of them, but most of them)
I do what I can do, but the GOP has let us down tremendously, and that is where to take THIS fight.
Your words are as true as C.S. Lewis or Malcolm Muggeridge.
Bless you, and continue to pray for our nation.
