Am I the only one who no longer recognizes the country?

No, not by a long shot LTC (Join to see) --- I made an observation about that this morning on another discussion thread.

As the days roll by, it seems that the nation I served for 26-years is not the same one as when I enlisted back in '87. We have become a nation where we seem to support those who wish us harm but disregard those who have stood by our side for close to 100 years or more. We used to be a nation where EVERYONE's rights and or beliefs were protected and where the majority carried the "weight". Now it seems that any and every minority anything, has the right to trample upon or label as racist, misogynistic or plain evil, anyone who has differing beliefs. We bend over backwards to welcome and support illegal immigrants and at times put more emphasis on aiding them than we do for or on behalf of the natural born/naturalized citizens and LEGAL immigrants who deserve the aid/support first. The last 10 years or so have been especially divisive on our nation between Dem and Rep, white and black, them and us, etc, etc,; we really need to reverse our course or I fear the country my grandkids reside in will no longer be the United States of America.

LTC (Join to see) No Sir! It is unrecognizable to me. My son's (future) children will never experience the freedoms I did less than 30 years ago.
