19. This is my family's military history. Two of the four generation are turning in their graves.

I'm a 79-year-old former military veteran. Actually, the third member in four generations who wore a US military uniform in WW I, WWII, Vietnam, and Iraq. At 79, I am still in the battle to demand our presidents obey the U.S. Constitution as written PERIOD! I listen to LegalAF to stay non-lawyer-informed about how the Trump administration ignores its duty to ensure compliance with the Constitution. If this former 18-year-old followed the Constitution, so should the entire Trump administration.

Those of us who are still alive cannot believe the extent of his disrespect for those who have served and those who still wear the uniform.
