I have read the Posts on this Topic. I would terribly be disappointed to see in the Future where My Son's Death in Afghanistan was taken so Trivial. I hate "Political Views" from those who have never had the loss of a Person who was Fighting the GOOD FIGHT, so we could have a Great History devoted to Our Countries. My Parents escaped the Holocaust to come to the United States, they are not tearing their Past apart, yet we Live in a Country filled with many different views. We are reminded of what went on in those Dark Days of History, yet Our Country wants no History of what happened when the North went and fought against the Confederates to form a Great America. I must be in a Dream. People do not even have a clue when the subject of abolishing Slavery happened or how for that matter. I raised 2 Sons on my Own, since their Mother passed when my Youngest was 2. I lost him in 2005 and my Oldest shortly before. I hate to think that they died with no remembrance.

To me it seems that it’s not so much race that polarizes us now - it’s politics, and in my lifetime, it’s never been remotely this bad. It’s now all about winning rather than doing the right, fair, kind or just thing, and we are poorer and weaker as a country for it. What surprises me more is that each party has a detailed comprehensive doctrine that covers everything from guns to abortions. Every vote in Congress is completely along party lines. It seems amazing to me that regardless of the subject, where you would expect a variety of opinions on each side, they are suppressed for the sake of party loyalty, right or wrong, and nothing seems important enough to change this behavior and unite America in a common purpose, not even a pandemic that has cost a million lives. Sorry to be veering way off topic.
