I served in the army under Nixon and Reagan, and under Reagan was serving in NATO.

So you can drop the childish stuff as you try to convince America that Russia is too tough and mean, and crazy to stand up to.

"and under Reagan was serving in NATO"

Then you know, first hand, the first side to lose big in a military engagement in Europe will strike with tactical nukes.

And you also know that to extend NATO means we pledge on our sacred honor that we will defend that nation at the risk of our own, no matter the cost.

Including general nuclear warfare with an equivalent nuclear power.

The USA has no interest in Ukraine that is worth that promise. None.

And thank you for your service. All service is worthy, and counts.

Please accept my apology.
