A retired US soldier still fighting to preserve liberty!

Captain Terry M. Hestilow, USA, Retired, a "mustang" officer, served in the United States Army from 1970-2008. His combat tours include duty in Vietnam and Afghanistan. He holds two degrees from the University of Texas at Arlington.
I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. Born in 1951, my family and friends grew up in a free nation and one of the greatest states in the Union. Yes, we were not perfect, but we worked at it every day. We fought the scourge of Democrat racism and in the ‘60s went from historically racially segregated schools to peacefully and properly racially integrated schools largely without a hint of hostility to the necessary and moral change as our students welcomed our new black students into our schools with open arms. Check the record! Polytechnic High School in Fort Worth set the high standard for racial integration for the whole nation!
We had projectile launchers in our cars and trucks in the school parking lots, and inside our high schools our ROTC staff used them to train our ROTC students in their drill training and our on campus ranges (we have to carefully choose words that won’t animate anxiety in Democrats and social media censors—we can’t use any “g” words).
I graduated high school in 1969—and we never ever had any police officers assigned to our schools—and in all of my years growing up, no Fort Worth school children were ever threatened, injured, or killed on our school grounds by anything more that the occasional fist fight after school. Some of my school friends, and others, did die during those years. One was murdered by a brother, and one was killed in an auto accident; but until the United States government started drafting our boys and sending them away to fight a war the government didn’t really care to win and eventually quit on our commitments in Southeast Asia, we didn’t reall lose a lot of friends to projectile deaths. We really never had to deal with the violence growing up that later generations had and that ravages our country in increasing powers since the ‘70s.
That tells me something about the cause of the violence and hatred that now stalks our streets, our communities, our schools, and our culture, and it isn’t about projectile launchers of every kind in the hands of citizens. It is, instead, about the erosion of character in our culture since we threw God out of schools in 1962. It is about the selfishness and Marxism that invaded our schools and destroyed families and turned our children into a godless generation who learned that if you destroy the value of life, beginning in 1973, you could sacrifice your child to the devil and destroy your own soul and the soul of a nation while pretending it was progress.
Today we have made our language so meaningless that some modern Supreme Court Justices can testify with a straight face to the Senate that she, he, it, they, them, or whatever, can’t say what makes a “woman” a “woman” (which my generation learned naturally from birth). It is no wonder that we can no longer have meaningful communication and, more often than ever, many resort to insane violent acts on children and society just to vent their rage since they cannot find ways to communicate meaningfully and peacefully in their interactions with others.
My generation did not grow up that way; but today’s generation insists on building a new America in the image of godless Communism where there are no fathers or mothers or families or inalienable rights given by their Creator and secured by their responsible government, but only a ravenous all consuming and soulless consuming government to tell you how you must live and give, even though you are allowed under this new Marxist theocracy to own nothing and say nothing the censors will not allow. We keep trying to make the Marxist Communist ideal work that has never worked anywhere around the globe where it has been tried in all of the history of humankind.
If you want peace and order, stop demanding the surrender of rights, differing opinions, human rights, and inanimate objects from the people. That will never bring you more than the slavery we see in Communist China and North Korea and elsewhere where Communism is the rule imposed upon the people. If you want peace and order, instead, you must go back to the earlier, if imperfect, model we had in generations before when America loved and lived a real determination to live by the Constitution and seek God in all our ways.
Stop trying to blame projectile launchers and look in the mirror instead. That is what must be fixed! And that can only be fixed by a return to the God who sanctified America from the beginning for His own purposes. Only then it will be possible to build a great nation in which our children will ever again be safe.
Captain (Retired) Terry Michael Hestilow United States Army May 25, 2024 (1776)
As we come together to honor the service and sacrifice of the American military members (and their families) who paid the full measure of the cost of liberty that we, as United States citizens, uniquely enjoy, I charge and challenge our citizens to live in the fullness of the responsibility that sacrifice places upon us as bearers of the torch of freedom. Let us refuse to entertain the cynicism that so freely passes from citizen to citizen today, as a virus to plague and destroy the hope of liberty born in America in 1776. While we recognize that there is a loud and unworthy company of freedom hating slugs among us who would prefer to sew seeds of discontent for our proven and just system of government; let us also understand that it was not for them that the treasure of lives lost on the battlefields, the families that we will never know because of lives cut short for liberty, and the productive capacity lost in keeping the enemy at bay was paid. The price paid was so that liberty could live in the hearts of responsible men and women and boys and girls. That we could live lives of honor as we share the hope of our free way of life among the people of other lands. The slugs get to live and breathe the sweetness of free air along with our children; but they were never really the intended recipient of this liberty.
Are we a perfect people? Of course not. But we are a redeemed people.
I have long proclaimed that Memorial Day is the most natural time in American life to share the good news of Calvary. You see, without the sacrifice that God was willing to make, through His Son Jesus, the Messiah–the Christ– on Calvary’s cross, we could only suffer our temporary existence in this life under the slavery of sin and rebellion. In Christ alone (John 14:6) God took that personal burden of our guilt and shame and placed it upon Jesus–who paid with his sinless life the full burden of payment we owed for our rebellion. For you and me today, we can live a life free of slavery by accepting the gift fully paid by Christ for our freedom from sin. And if we do, we must also recognize that such freedom calls us to strive to be responsible, even when we fail–to get up in Christ’s forgiveness–and press ahead to greatness.
Christ paid this price not because we are already perfect; but because He loves us (and no other faith system can make that claim). In the gift of Christ’s sacrifice we can be a redeemed people.
God did not make that sacrifice so that we may live shallow lives after the manner of those who live lives of slavery to the tyranny of sin. For now, He allows it. But, make no mistake, there will come a time in which those who reject the genuine freedom found only in the empty tomb of Christ’s resurrection will be realized for the terrible and tragic loss that is a life without Christ.
Of course, the similitude of the sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of our patriotic heroes is limited. But, I call each citizen to recognize that the challenge from the grave of our military is a challenge to continue to live lives worthy of their sacrifice. We can live like the slugs who hold our way of life and our service member’s sacrifice in contempt; but, if we do, we must never believe that such a great sacrifice was made for such unworthy lives.
Let us, then, live in the light of what was sacrificed, as responsible people who reject the corruption some have infected our institutions of government with and have led our culture into embracing. If we have corrupt government, and we do, it is because ‘we the People’ have taken for granted the wonder of what we have been given and forsaken our responsibilities as free men and women to preserve it for those who come after us.
Let us demand of ourselves that we live as the redeemed people we are; by the blood of Jesus Christ first, but also by the blood of our countrymen past and present who have given their lives for our freedom.
The letter that I have attached below explains some of the crises that the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Biden Administration, and many globalist antisemitic international organizations are creating in Israel’s continuing struggle to defend itself from those seeking her complete destruction in a most unholy war against this Jewish nation. I am sending this letter to my readers, like you, who might not have had the opportunity to receive this information from FRC, Action in your email. While I cannot provide the links to the FRC, Action, petition and donation links, I urge you to go to their site to join them in their work to aid this great nation defending its right to defend itself and oppose the actions of the ICC seeking to arrest Israeli leaders and prevent them from being able to seek aid from people and nations that are honest and honorable friends of our Jewish brothers and sisters in Israel.
Thank you. I am Captain Terry M. Hestilow, U.S. Army, Retired, a Christian and a defender of our great nations. My thanks to FRC, Action for their faithfulness to inform supporters of this important news regarding the attacks of many on the People of God in Israel. May God bless and keep Israel and her People safe and free.
(Note: The use by me of my official military title does not, and should not, sadly, be assumed to suggest that the opinions expressed by me, nor by FRC, Action, should be taken to reflect the official position of the Department of Defense nor the officers or personnel of the DoD or any of it’s subordinate Departments or Agencies.)
May 23, 2024
From FRC, Action:
In a completely unprecedented move, the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The prosecutor claims Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant “bear criminal responsibility [for] war crimes and crimes against humanity.” This move is not just despicable; it is dangerous. Israel is in a fight for its very existence. By issuing an arrest warrant for Israel’s leadership, the ICC is boxing the besieged nation in when it needs its leaders to be able to visit allied nations to secure much-needed weapons to defend itself.
When it comes to interfering with Israel’s ability to defend itself and project power within the region as a deterrent to bad actors, this is nothing new, unfortunately. The Biden administration has been hedging American support for Israel by signaling its support for a ceasefire, attaching conditions on how Israel can use American-made weapons, and even delaying the shipment of much-needed armaments to bolster Israel’s defenses. Playing politics with the fate of our greatest ally in the Middle East is inexcusable.
This past weekend, Family Research Council Action’s (FRC Action) sister organization, Family Research Council, organized a time for the Body of Christ to dedicate a portion of their Sunday worship to praying and standing for Israel. Although we can’t undo the damage that has already been done to Israeli cause by the Biden administration, we know the Lord hears our prayers, we know He has a special purpose for the nation of Israel, and we know He will bless those who bless Israel.
Prime Minister Netanyahu took note of FRC’s efforts and responded. In an open letter, Netanyahu said, “I thank you all for pledging your unwavering support for the State of Israel and the Jewish people at this critical time. I am particularly grateful to our many Christian friends who pray for Israel and stand with us against the wave of antisemitism in capital cities and on campuses across the U.S.” He continued, “When you pray today, you are praying for America and the common Judeo-Christian values we hold dear. Israel’s war with Hamas is a war between civilization and barbarism. With God’s help, and the courage of our brave soldiers, we will prevail.”
As Prime Minister Netanyahu pointed out, Israel’s fight is our fight. While we don’t have Hamas terrorists firing rockets into our cities, we do have Hamas sympathizers on countless college campuses and in every major city. They chant the same genocidal slogans Hamas uses, and they smear Jews and Christians alike as “colonizers.” We are in a civilizational struggle against a genocidal ideology. Despite it all, we remain resolute in our support for Israel, its defense forces, and its right to exist.
Whether it’s Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer calling for new elections in the middle of Israel’s war with Hamas, the Biden administration dictating strategy to Israel or outright delaying weapons shipments, Hamas sympathizers in cities, college campuses, or Congress, or, most recently, the ICC calling for the arrest of Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel must do what it needs to do to ensure a future for its people.
Family Research Council Action (FRC Action) has been steadfast in our support for Israel.

I received a piece of mail paid for by a tax exempt non-profit organization under IRC 501(c)(4) which does not endorse, support, or oppose candidates for election; the Texas Gun Rights organization.
I am not a member, but I very much appreciate their question about the behavior of our questionable “Representative” in our Texas House of Representatives for District 91, an Austin swamp creature from the establishment Republican Party named Stephanie Klick.
They (and I and every patriot) informed, “Stephanie Klick voted [past tense: already done] for the Texas Gag Act” also known legislatively in the 88th regular session of the Texas House as HB 1585.
Understand what the Texas Gag Act, HB 1585 does—that Stephanie Klick voted to advance in the 8&th Session of the Texas House.
1. The Texas Gag Act would ban groups like Texas Gun Rights from informing you about your politician’s voting record. [And why would that be bad?]
2. The Texas Gag Act would force us to dox gun owners by publicly revealing donor and membership lists. [So violent Democrat groups who hate the Second Amendment and our Constitution can demonstrate and throw bricks outside their homes.]
3. This could open gun owners up to intimidation from government officials and individuals seeking to silence or punish their political enemies. [“Lawfare.”]
4. Advances opportunities by America-hating liberal politicians to pass a registry of gun owners, which is a direct threat to our Constitution that says clearly that the right to keep and bear arms “shall not be infringed”!
Texas Gun Rights ask that Protect your First and Second Amendment rights by signing their petition (at TexasGunRights.org) to stop the Texas Gag Act.
I recommend that everyone who is a patriot and votes in Texas House District 91 vote for veteran David Lowe this week or next Tuesday, May 28th.
I am Terry M. Hestilow, Captain, U.S. Army, Retired, and I certainly approve this important message.
I, Captain Terry M. Hestilow, United States Army, Retired,Refuse to ever surrender my
God given Body Sovereigntyto the World Health Organization, the federal government of the United States of America,nor any other organization or authority or treaty mandate for any cause or reason; so help me God.
To my friends and all Texans living and voting in Texas House District 91 who love our God, our families, our Texas, and our nation; greetings! As you may be aware, we have a runoff election for the Republican nominee for our Texas House of Representatives seat in District 91. I want to ask every one of you to support with your vote my friend and outstanding conservative David Lowe to represent us in Austin. He stands with us for life and the rights of parents in making right decisions for their children rather than “woke” school leaders who work to support all the agenda of the Communists seeking to overthrow our values, our faith, and our Constitution.
Let me tell you that I thought in the past that we could count on the incumbent, Stephanie Klick going all the way back to 2008 when she was a Tarrant County Republican Party leader. I was wrong to trust her! And you must be careful to not trust her either! She has become a true RINO snake in the grass who, like Speaker Mike Johnson, has become a loyal Democrat in a Republican office. She has used her office in Austin to advance Democrats into seats of power in the Texas House, has blocked conservative bills to protect children from predators advancing the transgender agenda, and was one of the traitors who tried to impeach Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton! It is safe to say that she is just about as Republican as Liz Cheney—zero!
As David’s campaign pointed out in a text they sent me,
“David Lowe has signed the Texas Family Pledge! Terry, this is Donald with Texas Family Project. The radical Left is attacking Texas families with CRT and Transgender Ideology.
“We need conservative leaders who will fight back and put families first! David Lowe has signed our pledge to fight for family values in Austin. Stephanie Klick has not.
Early voting begins Monday, May 20th. The runoff election is on Tuesday, May 28, 2024.
I pray we can get all of Texas House District 91 to turn out and vote for David Lowe – For State Representative District 91. Can we count on you? I hope so. We need David Lowe in that seat and President Donald J. Trump back in the White House! Don’t listen to Greg Abbott who endorses that other person. Abbott must have fallen and hit his head on a rock! Vote for David Lowe! You can bet that I will!

Disclaimer: my military-retired signature block nor photos should be considered an endorsement of my political opinions or comments (but military people would be smart to stand with me). My post is my own opinion and is in no way sponsored or paid for by the campaign of David Lowe.
Like the seven “scrawny … lean, ugly cows” of Pharaoh’s nightmare that “ate up the seven fat cows”, and “even after they ate them, no one could tell” (Genesis 41), communism is a consuming poverty that feasts upon the good of others it overtakes without evidence of any prosperity or hope for the future. Communism is a plague to be avoided and defeated at all costs!
Facebook calls this “hate speech.” What do you call it?
I call it fundamental to freedom!
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America.
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
— Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Facebook calls this “hate speech.” I think it is time for patriots to “share” this on their page. Children that have attended public schools and state colleges have probably never been exposed to this document. Probably part of the reason our country is under threat of becoming a Socialist (Communist) nation. Post it! Maybe someone will learn from it?
Soldier for life!

Facebook didn’t like this article because the headline said that Democrats had introduced a bill to euthanize those over 70 years age. The Democrats didn’t yet introduce such a bill; however, the information below is not false.
My remarks were: “This is not new. It is simply the latest evidence that the Democrats are looking for justifications to kill people at both ends of the age continuum—from abortion to the slaughter of senior adults. I don’t have to remind you that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo used the coronavirus to order nursing homes to admit active coronavirus patients into the senior adult communities most in danger of death from the disease. His order was as deliberate an assault on the lives of seniors in the nursing home populations as if he had thrown hand grenades down the halls of these senior communities. Democrats are every day seeking to implement Malthusian depopulation policies every bit as cruel as did the Third Reich in 1933. Every stinking murderous Democrat must be thrown from political office and American culture.
CPT (Ret.) Terry Michael Hestilow, USA May 13, 2020”
The article Facebook wants to censor follows:
“Further proof that Democrats are the greatest evil that the world has ever seen. Democrat Senator Ginny Talia was talking with colleagues Monday and was overheard saying : Americans over 70 years old should just be euthanized. That’s how to save social security.”
“The remarks were made following a Senate Sub-committee meeting on how to keep Social Security from being taken over by those who would oppose one of the great hallmarks of our capitalist economy. It is felt by many on The Hill that liberals are lying in wait to take over the program and put their grubby socialist mark all over it. This was evidenced by the words of Miss Talia.
“But she didn’t stop with that remark. Talia’s disgusting rant was captured on cell phone video by a passerby so we have all the details : “Seriously, why do we even keep them around? I mean thank you for your service but you no longer serve any purpose in society.
“There’s so damn many of them now. Boomers. Our infrastructure can’t support them. Socialism is about protecting the good of all. The few make sacrifices for the whole. Geriatrics should be saying to themselves,’We are a burden on society. Our children will suffer for our selfishness in staying alive.’ And all they talk about is patriotism. Caring for your country. If they were really patriotic, they’d be lining up to be euthanized. Or, better yet, they’d save the government the money and take care of it themselves.”
“The government ethics committee intends to look into the remarks of Sen. Talia. If it is found that her words amount to hate speech, she could be removed from office and jeered for having such thoughts. Here’s hoping.
I posted the following message four days ago about the systematic purge taking place in the Department of Defense of pro-life Christian men and women in uniform who, after years of dedicated service and sacrifice, and numerous combat tours of duty placing their lives at risk for America, are being punished and driven from service because they refuse to let the Biden Administration force them to be made lab rats and receive a pharmaceutical product developed and tested using cells of aborted babies. Fact!
Few people apparently saw my post because, apparently, Facebook flagged the article cited from a military publication because Facebook is an illegal but functional censor for the government now.
Here is my post without the article attached. Frankly, the censorship is a bigger plague than was the actual illness. I hope this time you get to read what I wrote. It is important. We must defend these pro-life Christians in uniform. Can you imaging what our armed services will become if our service members ever become mindless military slaves without a conscience informed by their constitutional rights and religious faith? They would do horrible things on any order given them by tyrannical leadership!
Thanks.
Captain (Retired) Terry Michael Hestilow United States Army May 13, 2022
My article from four days ago:
Social media may be shadow censoring my posts like this; but I suspect that a good number of my social media followers and friends are also intimidated by the threat of the Communists to suspend their profiles. I do understand if people are afraid to respond to this post; but regardless of the Communist intimidation of social media working illegally on behalf of the U.S. government, I urge you to at least read this linked material if for no other reason than to understand the abuse our courageous pro-life Christian service members are going through because they will not surrender their integrity and forfeit their constitutional rights and their rights under the Religious Restoration Act of 1993.
I pray that you will not turn your back on our Christian service members and just scroll past. We have bled and many have died in wars defending the rights of Americans. From the betrayal of our sacrifice in Vietnam to the betrayal in Afghanistan by the Biden Administration’s joining the Taliban and funding their arms build-up with U.S. arms to the tune of $85Billion in August of 2021, service members have seen our nation totally disregard the blood, the very lives of our heroes time and time again. We are being betrayed again as patriotic pro-life Christian service members are being persecuted and driven from the military by our current Executive Branch and today’s military leaders.
You have read time and again about the strong measures that I will pursue if President Donald J. Trump selects me, and I am confirmed by a Republican Senate, to serve as his next Secretary of Defense beginning in January of 2025. Let me state again that I will have the backs of these abused service members and fight through every barrier raised by the enemy to stop me, so that we may once again give them the option to return to duty if they desire, without a requirement to surrender their religious beliefs and receive injections against their body sovereignty, to have all punitive actions and sentences related to these illegal mandates completely overturned, to restore to them all of the honors, rank, time in grade, and time in service, without any record of adverse personnel actions noted in their personnel records, and special consideration as appropriate, to restore their careers to where they logically would have been had they not been targeted by this criminal and morally bankrupt Administration and Pentagon leadership.
Further, I will pursue and insist on a full-scale investigation by the Judge Advocates Office to identify every single officer, Flag, Field, or Company grade, who pursued illegal unconstitutional action against any service member under this Administration, and fully prosecute them, military or civilian members of the DoD, if investigation reveals a reasonable demand for prosecution under law.
And finally, I will pursue the relief from duty and suspension of every chaplain who took it upon themselves to sit in judgement upon the sincerity of service members in their assigned commands and, if proved to be true in fact, see that every one of those chaplains are themselves discharged for their recommendations against service members punished as a result of their recommendations. Chaplains don’t get to make recommendations of punitive actions based upon their own interrogations for command of service members and interpretations of a service member’s sincerity regarding their religious beliefs. Real chaplains know better!
Please read and respond in support to those working to preserve the rights of these persecuted military service members. I’m begging you!
