Dear POTUS
Dear POTUS “If you are going to send more in, agree to support them and those already there to the fullest. If this is a war, fight it as such not some PC event where we are trying to win the hearts of the world. Full support should be a non-negotiable when it comes to our servicemembers in harm’s way.” — 668203
