Jan: I do hope an old soldier/cop with latent homicidal tendencies did not add to your level of distress regarding the state of this nation. After 26 years as a soldier/military cop and as many more as a civilian cop/counter-terrorism consultant, I went to the woods to keep from killing politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, media types, and the feudal lords who own them and most of us!
In my third year as a civilian cop I started a book titled: ‘Rape, Pillage, Plunder; America, You’ve Been Had!” After Obama was elected to his second term I modified the title by adding; ‘And, It’s Your Own Damn fault!’ The lessons learned presented below were prepared as a prelude to the book. To date the book has not been published because I have refused the Department of Defense’s demand that I remove several parts dealing with issues/events they have refused to declassify.
The only time I have offered to return to service was after D.J. Trump became President. I wrote him a detail plan to clean the swamp that is the entire United States of America. He replied with a letter suitable for framing and asked me to stand by. At 78 years the only task I will refuse is carrying that damn M-60 machine gun.
In light of all the activities of the “left/resistance” and other groups seemingly bent on destroying every thing we cops and soldiers spent our careers and in far too many cases our lives supposedly defending, I often ask myself were most Americans stand. The lessons learned presented below may give you a glimpse into the inner world of government from the vantage point of one who served in government service from the local through the federal level. See if you can determine which ones were prior Donald versus post Donald.

A Soldier/Cop’s Lessons Learned
* The greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the American so-called media.
* The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to the American political class, the American bureaucracy, the American media, and American academia.
* Most of the politicians/bureaucrats/academicians/media types I have encountered during my years as a soldier/cop I most kindly refer to as; self-serving, witless, cowards.
* The American Profession of Arms and our brothers/sisters in blue have failed to protect the American people from all of their enemies, both foreign and ‘most especially’ domestic.
* My guns were always turned in the wrong direction.
* Washington, DC is the most target rich environment I have encountered in all of my years as a soldier/cop.
* If recalled to active military service the only position I will accept is; Commander, Counter Terrorism/Revolutionary Forces.
* Arrogance coupled with ignorance equals stupidity.
* There are only two primary requirements to be a career soldier and/or cop in America. One must be smart enough to do the work and dumb enough to take the job.
* American soldiers and police officers must in addition to mastering all of their professionally mandated tasks learn to accomplish the same with at least one arm tied behind their backs and their vision impaired 50% or more.
* After carefully watching the whole of the political class for many years I can say without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and our bodies just to remain in power.
* Soldiers (ground combat soldiers, that is) do not fight first and foremost for their country, the flag, motherhood, girls back home, nor apple pie. Before all else, soldiers engaged in ground combat fight for their fellow soldiers and their unit.
* The Seven C’s of Leadership according to a 1980 survey of 1646 of Vietnam era ground combat veterans listed of the order of their importance are; Candor, Competence, Consistency, Commitment, Courage, Compassion, and Courtesy. The reason the soldiers in the survey chose the word “candor” is because to them candor encompasses both omission and co-mission. To a combat soldier lack of absolute candor, be it co-mission or omission, are equal sins! In short, soldiers expect/demand absolute candor from their leaders before all else.
* The most cost effective personnel management tool for incompetent and/or corrupt personnel assigned to leadership positions in combat units (and probably elsewhere) is “Fragging!”
* Want to see what the United States of America will look like if the left takes control of the government? Take your pick, New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or the complete packages; California, New York, Illinois, etc, etc, etc…..
* If the so-called progressive movement continues unchecked a number of able veterans/soldiers/cops are going to be presented with a challenge/decision. Are the American people worth another drop of our sweat and/or our blood?
*I woke up after many years as a soldier/cop to come to realize that I had more respect for those I have killed and/or jailed than I do for most American politicians. I referred to most American politicians as self-serving, witless, cowardly, pissants until I retired to the deep woods and came to know that pissants are neither self-serving nor witless, and certainly not cowards!

My only comfort is that he will roast in Hell. May God make his life here a living hell, knowing that his grandchildren will have no real country, because he “saved” the institutions that are now Organized Crime.

There are 1000 possible reasons why he dropped it off In the first place (stupid/high…who knows?). But I suspect at some point he realized that picking up the computer was an acknowledgement that the computer was his.
