garden leeks sauté in butter, a splash of vermouth

My sister in law was booted from the Air Force because she was a lesbian.
I don’t know how that made the Air Force better, or America safer.
She posted a pic in uniform for Veterans Day.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.
