Just a few points regarding your comments throughout this back and forth scenario. First, you raise a lot of questions about a subject I don't think you have personally experienced, i.e. serving in the military. I made the Air Force a career and I am proud of my service. I don't need an outsider like you offering your two cents worth of advice. When I joined the Air Force I don't recall being told that I would be at home with my family during holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas and other "special" times. On numerous holidays I was on 24 hour duty underground in a missile silo in New Mexico or on 24 hour alert duty fulfilling my duty as an "alert duty officer" with my German counterpart guarding F-104's in support of our NATO mission.                                                                                                                                                                                                             While you might look at serving three years in Germany as a wonderful opportunity to see the world, my family and I experienced  three years missing out on the kinds of activities that you have been able to experience on a daily basis. My first son was a year old when we left for Germany and my second son was born three months before we returned to the United States. Unless you experience it, you cannot appreciate what it was like to have spent three years of your life without your parents, grandparents, friends, and others. The fact that grandparentsI didn't get to see their grandchildren for three years was a diificult time. I would consider those three years to be the "hardest" period that my family has had to endure during our lifetime. With this being said, you are "crying" about our military on the border suffering the weather conditions and missing "Thanksgiving" dinners. MAJOR USAF RET provided you with a good introduction into what is expected of those who serve in the military.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Your charge that President Trump has "manufactured" a crisis on the border is just further evidence of the "extent" you will go to use any and every conceivable method possible to thwart his efforts to support the "will" of the people of this great United States. How can you equate the fact that hundreds of buses, eighteen wheelers, and every other means of transportation available are being used to support and transport this "manufactured invasion"? Please view the new video filmed by Ami Harowitz as he mixes with the "Caravan" to show the "true idenity" of the Caravan, unlike what the "whole world" has been seeing from the "fake news media". Go to DailyCaller.com or click on Ami Horowitz to view this video. According to Horowitz the Caravan has been well "organized' and is costing millions and millions of dollars. He said that one of the lies the "fake" media is trying to propagate is the "fact" that all this weird organic thing and all the water and all the food and medicine, all dropped from........... manna from heaven. It's all balogna! It's all highly organized. It's paid for by a number of organizations, we don't know exactly where the money is coming from. When asked why haven't "other" news organizations gotten to the bottom of this, he responded,  "you know the anser to that. They don't want to get to the bottom of this. They have "no" interest politically in getting to the bottom of it. When you view photos from all the major news organizations, what do you see? The entire "framing" are women and children when the "reality" is so for from the truth, 90-95 percent of the people in the Caravan are "men".                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The "news media" refers this movement to the border as the "Caravan Conspiracy Theory". What can be done to preclude the media from "intentionally" lying to the American people? I undestand the guarantee of "free speech" by the Constitution, and the entitlement of people to express their "own" opinions, but when there is a wide group of "individuals" and "news" organizations that "spew" lies across the country that can have an affect of influencing anyone's personall views on a particular subject, I think that is unacceptable and reflects on anyone's patriotism as an American citizen. As an example, I cite President Obama saying, "if you "have" a Doctor, you can "keep" your Doctor" fits this situation to a T. Would you agree  that "lie" by President Obama affected the personal views of "millions" of people?
