Nielson letter: Take advice

I lived in an organization where minority ruled. It’s called the military and most of the time it was good. However, there always came a time when a newly polished gold bar felt he knew more than an E-7 of 20 years knew.

Those that sit in our Oval Office, shinning their newly acquired gold bar, had best listen to those that have been there and done that. Not those sponsored “puppets” we call representatives.

Keith Nielson, Shelley
