I was a tank crewman in the Army. I'm a Gulf War vet. In fact, I'm a third-generation veteran. I've got a Form DD-214. I love this country. I vote. I pay taxes. I thought that was enough.

Who knew that actual fucking Nazis were going to take over this country? And that a third of this country fucking let them?
