Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

An alcohol-induced stupor isn't 'fog of war'
A soldier with a weapon in hand taking consistent enemy fire is what creates the "fog of war".
Not a television in an air-conditioned room watching someone else do the dirty work.
Pete Hegseth is a murderer. Period.
