Sad day for America.

Like most people, I hold many distorted beliefs. When one of these beliefs is shattered, it can be a painful process.
I believed that U.S. veterans fought for the rights of ALL people. Not just white, middle class America, but for all of us. I also believed that they fought for our allies, and respected and upheld the constitution.
This is not true. Yesterday, several veterans paid the court costs of a woman who broke the law. She released thousands of names, along with personal information, to the media. She claimed that all of the people on "the list" were illegal immigrants, who were receiving services from the state. This woman had no way of backing her claims, she didn't work for ICE, she worked for DWS.
To me this is not about immigration, it is about the law. The same people who call these criminals "heroes", are the ones who also call this "a nation of laws". Well, if your last name is Velasquez, the law that protects your privacy, well doesn't.

I would like to remind those vets, that we are not at war with Mexico. They are in fact our allies. You swore an oath to protect ALL of us, not just the white ones. You swore an oath to protect our allies, ALL of them, not just the white ones. You swore an oath to protect our laws, ALL of them. You swore an oath to protect the constitution, ALL of it, not just the amendments you like.

By taking the side of a criminal, over your oaths, you have brought shame on the U.S. military.
Ask yourselves how many of your fellow servicemen were on that list. Quite a few Mexican,and Hispanic people serve this country. Many of their families receive food stamps and cash aid from DWS.

I don't know what to do with these feelings. Clearly I must support the troops. I do so now, with a heart that is heavier than yesterday.
