For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq.
“If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.”
National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC.
A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.

Virginia Giuffre was 17 when Ghislaine Maxwell lured her into Epstein’s trafficking ring. She fought for years to be heard. On April 25, 2025, she died by suicide.
