Do you think our enemies will take advantage of the he-said-she-said of today's presidential crisis?

This is my opinion and my fear... I recall as a kid that after President Nixon resigned, President Ford didn't do very much when the North Vietnamese attacked South Vietnam (even though we had the peace Accord in Paris signed in 1973) by 1975, the Communists had rearmed and retrained and attacked South Vietnam. Even though President Ford was a field grade naval officer in a prior life, he just didn't have the stomach to send troops, air support nor B-52s back to South Vietnam. In February of 2013, I was promoted to Major and that evening , I went to a Catholic mass in Anaheim with my Aunt and Uncle who wanted to see a Vietnamese Catholic Service on the Chinese New Year. It was during the Tet. There were hundreds of Vietnamese people in that church. I was dressed in uniform because I just finished my drill and I got a lot of respect by former Vietnamese soldiers in their Tiger Stripe uniform wearing their maroon beret and who were part of the color guard. After the mass, we went to the hall where they had Vietnamese snacks. A color guard of former South Vietnamese soldiers was there to give respect. They played the American national anthem and showed the American flag. Following this, they played the South Vietnamese national anthem and their flag was put at a 45 degree angle in sadness. I'm worried about if this divides the country so much that we will lose allies just like we lost South Vietnam. Maybe it was good that we had a hundred thousand plus Vietnamese come to bases nationwide and now they are Americans. Still, we can probably avoid this tragedy in the future if we are vigilant during this time of crisis.
There are more important things to worry about than golf Delta climate change! I hope it backfires on everybody. What gets me so mad is that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton walks proud and free even though every single person here on rallypoint would be at Fort Leavenworth if we did what she did.
I hope we can get this done and over with because the longer we fight among each other, the more our enemies can do the damage they want to do without our interference if we are in a cold Civil War.

LCDR Joshua Gillespie - You are a walking talking example that the USNA also turns out thinkers.

CPT (Join to see) -Thank you. I don't know that I'm that much of an "intellectual"-but life has taught me that people are prone to oversimplification. What I've studied of socialism leads me to conclude that it's a panacea for a variety of baser emotions: resentment, anger, and doubt being chief among them. It's much more difficult (but also much more rewarding) to take people as individuals; realizing that there are few "cookie cutter" answers, and fewer still "guaranteed" outcomes. "Justice" isn't always measured by reciprocity, or progress by change. My greatest fear for my nation is that the next generation wants "simple" answers.
