After this Trump military confab it got me wondering how difficult it must be for US Armed Forces recruitment with the

ICE $50K bonus and opportunity to harass and possibly harm minorities available to the GED recruits.

Now it's the furthest thing from their minds. Neither one is considering ICE either. And the granddaughter who was once considering a career with the FBI is now working in corrections. All of them are thoroughly disillusioned. The granddaughter who works in corrections works at a juvenile facility and is extremely distressed by the educational lack there. She tries to help the kids when she can by teaching on the sly.

One of our locals was with the 82nd Airborne and lost both his legs in the invasion of Grenada….to friendly fire.

The military is a serious business with serious risks and no one wants to sacrifice life and limb to prop up Trump’s fragile ego.

Especially when he considers those taking the risks “suckers and losers.”
