Kevin Tillman joined the Army with his brother Pat and they served together in Iraq and Afghanistan before Pat was killed. Kevin has written a powerful document that says, in part:
It is Pat’s birthday on November 6, and elections are the day after. It gets me thinking about a conversation I had with Pat before we joined the military ... How fighting as a soldier would leave us without a voice… until we get out.
Much has happened since we handed over our voice: .....
Somehow subversion of the Bill of Rights and The Constitution is tolerated....
Somehow torture is tolerated.
Somehow lying is tolerated.....
Somehow the same incompetent, narcissistic, virtueless, vacuous, malicious criminals are still in charge of this country.
Luckily this country is still a democracy. People still have a voice. People still can take action. It can start after Pat’s birthday.
