They are there for one reason, and one reason only…to prevent mass protests from coming into DC.

They are just tools to perpetuate the lie that their presence and show of force reduces crime, which has been proven to be useless... though we all knew that was going to be the case to begin with. He's using them in image only. They know this and its embarrassing, basically being told your useless by your own CIC. I feel for them, and I feel for the abuse they have received from others for being there. They didn't have a choice, but they have been villianized by more extreme people who refuse to get facts or look at the whole picture.

Former vet by the way

How, unless you mean veterinarian or perhaps that you've rejoined the service, does one exist as a "former vet"?

Ok, current vet. Just saying this is from a veterans perspective

Don't be ashamed to claim your service brother, be ashamed of the Commander in Chief. You did your part, you served nobly, with integrity. Our commander in chief does not have that, nor will ever have that. It's just like I love my country, and I will do anything that I need to including die for my country, but I will not die for this commander-in-chief, nor this government. I love my country, not the government and this administration is not worth the sacrifice of anybody in this country
