This old soldier is tired of the events happening in our country today. So much turmoil and fear. My country is the greatest country in the world and yet, we are losing favor with other countries. Why? (My opinion) The leadership of country is weak. They allow too many threats to our country that they ignore, and claim everything is rosy.

We need a wake up call, and soon!
