Smith letter: Dying country

At the age of 74 years 5 months, and having gone through Vietnam, the Cuban missile crisis and the USS Pueblo crisis, never would I have dreamed of my country dying before me. I say this as we have a duly elected president, regardless of your opinion, we voted, the liberals lost, deal with it. People talk about resisting Trump, when the shoe is on the other foot what are you going to do? I for one will resist a Democrat because they did it, so what goes around comes around. With the left or liberal Democrat will to take a Republican life because they disagree, then do not be surprised when you meet in kind resistance. Never have I seen such un-American/anti-American communist loving idiots. We as a country were better off in the 1940s, 1950s and up until 1968 when the hippies came in, we all laughed and wondered what was next. Now we know and it’s not good. As a combat veteran I take my oath very seriously, that is to defend the U.S. from all enemies — foreign and domestic. God help and bless this dying country.
