The article highlights concerns from a veteran about the current state of democracy and the treatment of military personnel. It emphasizes that Marines serve the people rather than a political leader and condemns the use of intimidation against peaceful protesters. The article also critiques the inadequate oversight and accountability in environmental regulations, particularly highlighting the struggles local water districts face amid federal budget cuts. This leads to a call for public action to ensure better regulation and protect vital resources.
As I look at the current political climate, it becomes evident that the military's duty is to protect democracy and the rights of the citizenry, not simply serve presidential whims.
The treatment of our Marines as instruments of political messaging undermines the core values they defended, emphasizing a need for accountability in our leadership.
