We don’t agree in the smallness that says it’s ok for a stage full of political leaders, one of whom could end up being President of the United States, being silent when an American soldier is booed. We don’t believe in that.
We don’t believe in standing silent when that happens. We don’t believe in them being silent since.
You want to be Commander-in-Chief? You can start by standing up for the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States even when it’s not politically convenient.
