My true hope, though, is that we Veterans can act as first line of defense between the police and the protester. If they want to get to some protesters so they can mace them, they will have to get through the #ing Marine Corps first. Let's see a cop mace a bunch of decorated war vets.

So what is going on in NYC today?!? It is Monday morning, are the protestors growing in number or shrinking and going back to work? Have any Union supporters shown up? How many vets are there in uniform?
Let's get some first hand accounts in here this morning! Is this thing going anywhere or is it fizzling out?

When violence comes to America it needs to be focused and efficient, not some rage based lashing out in multiple directions.
If they want the country to support them they have to represent the best interest of all, not just themselves. Many of their desired goals would destroy the yrs of hard work millions of Americans have put into their lives, for their futures.
They need leaders with clear goals that are realistic. Right now they are running on the dollars of the very powers they are protesting.

The problem is if there is violence, due to the protestors becoming the pawns of their financial backers...
Then they make THEMSELVES the enemy....No one wants that, they are this country's future
That IS the simple math though. If the violence does the bidding of the people currently backing the protestors with $$$ the public will turn on them.
Right now we just want them to be safe and wise up, many of us would love for them to become cohesive enough we could support them...
Buying into radical left propaganda would seal their fate and make them the enemy of those who support and defend the Constitution
To the men in the shadows of the men in the shadows... We are watching.

As we shall see, there was another Carl Sandburg unknown to the mid-century or later public and unacknowledged by his commentators. During the crucial, watershed years surrounding World War I, when the future of American domestic and foreign policy was being shaped and the circumstances of the common people were as much a subject of fierce public debate and confrontation as they were at any moment in American history before or after, this other Sandburg was a profoundly different writer from the Sandburg lionized at mid-century. This other Sandburg believed that America was a faithless monster of a country.
