p>The Democrats would prefer to fight the War on American soil
instead of Iraqi, Afghan, Syrian, and Iranian. They have forgotten
about the over 3,000 dead American citizens. Power is what they
covet more than anything.

Why all the pussyfooting around, George? Simply state it as follows:
“The Democrats want a society based on a socialist/communist philosophy of equality of outcome and expect the U.S. military to follow those same beliefs. No winners. No losers. Being a loser may instill feelings of inadequacy. All are equal. Except Americans. Americans are to carry the mark of Cain. And be a scapegoat for any and every society’s failure.”
p>Sort of like an eleventh commandment. Except that calling it a commandment smacks too much of religion. Or mentioning the mark of Cain or scapegoating. That would violate the rules on separation of church and state. br> — Wolf Terner
