Open letter to Mr. Donald Trump in regards to issuing unlawful military orders

Mr. Donald Trump,

I write to you tonight with extreme concern about a statement made by you during the Fox News debate on March 3, 2016:



"They won't refuse. They are not going to refuse me."

Really Mr. Trump?!?  Someone in your campaign needs to help you brush you up on some military protocol. You see, I am an Army veteran, and I come from a long line of family members who were also service members. If you were to give me an order to target civilians, I would disobey that order! You sir, are wrong when you imply that just because you give an order, means that it will automatically be followed.

When a person enlists in the military, they are given a book from the training command of their particular branch, and since you say you want to be Commander-In-Chief, you should probably read up on what makes a service member tick. Read Army TRADOC P600-4 Chapter 2-6. Army Values. Read subsections E and F in regards to how service members are to conduct themselves: http://www.tradoc.army.mil/tpubs/pams/p600-4.pdf.

It speaks of honor and integrity. Honor, and integrity!!!

Audie Murphy, Gary Gordon, Randall Shughart, Florent Groberg, and Edward Byers Jr. all received the Medal of Honor. Have you ever heard of a Medal of Honor recipient receiving their award because they kill a house full of unarmed civilians, or because they targeted the family of a terrorist? No? That's because they would be behind bars instead!

The targeting of civilians is a no-no Mr. Trump. Your blustering about what you would command our military to do, will not translate into actionable orders. You cannot walk around and command Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and our Coast Guard, to willfully kill the family members of terrorists. You may think it sounds good with your followers, but IT IS NOT! You would be putting the morals of our military in jeopardy with this type of showing off for the cameras.

Our military members are a proud and honorable group of men and women! Men and women who are willing to give their all! We are not a bunch of mindless drones, that cannot think for ourselves! If you are elected to the presidency, you will have a moral obligation to protect their integrity, the code of conduct, and their moral compass!

They deserve nothing less!!!

Sincerely from a very angry,
Mrs. Danielle D. Hollars
U.S. Army veteran

Post election analysis...

Well here we are... I literally needed a few days to gather myself from the disaster that was our latest presidential election. I've had to put on a smile for the sake of my innocent children, who are now going to be burdened with such financial debt, they might never climb out from under it. I was angry and frustrated that so many people ignored the truth about who Obama is. Even after four years of him running roughshod over the American people, it wasn't enough to change people's minds. The horrific negligence of Benghazi wasn't enough to wake up America. Never mind the fact the he took major kudos on the killing of Bin Laden, but barely a word on Benghazi. Where's the photo from the situation room on the night of those murders?

What will it take next time around? Will we then be at 9 or 10% or higher unemployment, gas prices through the roof, and a stagnant economy? Probably. Will people then decide that maybe voting for the president's agenda was a bad idea? Probably not. Why? Because Obama gave them free stuff! The map below represents the map of the country by counties after the latest election. It looks like a freaking crime scene, and Romney lost!

But wait! Maybe Chris Matthews figured it out with this little gem...



Chris Christie shot us in the foot, by implying what a great leader Obama was because he gave him his private number, and came to NJ for a photo-op. All he wanted was to do to boost his image. And "Khris Krispy", played right into his hands.

The president played a dirty game of Chicago-style politics, of demonizing your enemy and rewarding your friends. He once again promised everything to everyone, (except to people of faith), and the left basically said to rest of America, "It's over for you, you'll never win against us again!" His plan was the following: To give in-state tuition to illegal immigrant children, tell gays anything they want to hear, and the black vote he knew was in his pocket. Simple right? He never really stopped campaigning after the first election, only long enough to actually run the country, and now wanted to blame republicans like he didn't have a mandate for the first TWO YEARS!!!! The left started the war on women crap, and people believed it! NO republican has ever suggested taking away women's birth control. It was a hypothetical question by George Stephanopoulos during a debate, and the left went guano crazy and took to the airwaves claiming that's what we wanted. It didn't matter what we said to the contrary, plenty of women en masse followed the lie like lemmings. The left-wing media was in his pocket, and Hollywood came out with their usual ass-kissing to Obama and gave millions to him, even though they are the ones he calls greedy, and fat-cats.

Much to my chagrin and horror, while in the D.C. metro system, I found out that Obama won reelection. I was completely dumbstruck. When I arrived home, I tucked my older children into bed, fed my baby, then held her and wept bitterly.  How could so many Americans be OK with the state of our union? How could so many Americans look at the largess of how much this current administration is costing us and be OK with it?  How could so many Americans be OK with the destruction of the first amendment, and just turn their backs?  Republicans don't need to change our faith or values.  We will need to be that light in the dark that will most surely be needed in the coming days of darkness.  We are headlong into the days where good is called evil, and evil is called good.  Why did America vote for Obama and his destructive policies again?  Because Obama GAVE THEM FREE STUFF!!!!!!!!!! God help us...

The debate, who's next to leave, and Gov. Perry

So when it was leading up to the 2008 elections, I had a friend ask me who I thought would be going head to head in the end for president. I had told him I thought it would be Obama and McCain. Now mind you, this was when there seemed to be no daylight for McCain. I also told him that Obama would win.

Fast forward three years, and after watching the debate on Thursday night, here are my thoughts: Everyone got in a good shot or two either at each other, or at Obama. However, Newt Gingrinch and Gov. Tim Pawlenty had seemed to whine too much. Herman Cain had a great line about America needing to learn how to take a joke. Santorum got shafted some by not having a lot of question and answer time. Michele seemed to stumble a bit when asked about being submissive to her husband. Ron Paul really ticked me off me off with his unwillingness to stand with Israel. I'll post about that another day. Huntsman said nothing that was very impressive to me.

Now, since the Iowa Straw Poll is over, and Michele won, Pawlenty has just dropped out of the race. I think Santorum, Newt, Huntsman, and Cain will soon follow. Ron Paul will be stubborn as usual and try to hold on longer than anyone other than his most devout fans will want him to. Although I'm still trying to figure out how he came in second with that many votes... call me crazy, but maybe all of his supporters live out in Iowa!  I'm wondering how many of these Ron Paul supporters voted for Obama because they thought he was different.

With Gov. Perry entering the race on Saturday, the others who scored very low will have a difficult time convincing more Americans to follow their lead. Gov. Perry had done an amazing job in Texas, with his state having more than  40% of the overall job growth in the nation.

I think in the end it will be Governor Rick Perry facing Obama, with Rep. Michele Bachmann, or maybe Gov. Mitt Romney as his VP pick.  Let's see if I'm two for two!
