Hate crimes in America are on the rise.
We have people who go out of their way to defend their heritage.
How about standing up for someone who was injured in their service to our country.
How many people are going to ask about the crime committed against an Army Lieutenant, a nurse who worked providing comfort and care to military personnel and dependents?
It seems that this incident, attempted murder by a co-worker, has been hushed up, swept under the rug, covered up, use any of those phrases which describe willful deception by the media and those in power.
This should have triggered so many people that it would have been front page news.
Why are we only hearing about it now?
Call, email, write, confront your representatives in Congress.
Ask Trump and Obama.
Both of whom claim to be great supports of our military.
"What the hell happened here?"

The Great American Eclipse
Next week at this time, the Great American Eclipse of 2017 will be history. There will be millions of photos, videos, selfies, and commentary.
I've seen a total eclipse from the Netherlands back in 1999. Unfortunately, I didn't take off from work to see it. Totality was further south in Belgium, France and Luxembourg.
Standing in the parking lot with my co-workers it was a short but exciting event, in a geeky sort of way. Like they say, 'You had to be there'.
It also seemed to herald a death spiral to my working life.
The job I had was with an American company,doing contract work for another American company at their manufacturing plant. Everything connected with the job was a trial due to my former employer having never worked in Europe. Let's just say that conditions deteriorated rather than improved over time.
Was it due to the eclipse? Probably not, but down through history eclipses have been noted as portents of major changes. My life has changed dramatically since 1999.
I've spent the past 17 years trying to understand how and why America has been become the country we now have, one that appears to be lost, without principles.
A country where liars, cheats, thieves, and scoundrels flourish, and are admired for it.
All things rotten soon collapse.
I am think we are about to see that happen to America.
