Protect the troops! You hear that from the right all the time, but now our troops are health care
providers. They are fighting a war, sacrificing themselves for the country's benefit. With every war, unfortunately, there are casualties amongst the troops. Many of them know this, yet they put on their scrubs or uniforms and go to battle every day. They have watched as their brethren lost the battle against the enemy virus. Yet, they keep going into the war zone. Continuing to put themselves in harm's way. Some sleep in their cars after their grueling 12, 16, 18 hr shifts. They do that to protect their loved ones.
Some of these people wrapping themselves in the flag probably think of themselves as " super patriots", they might even get angry when someone is against the previous wars - they might say the usual right wing talking point that one that is against the war, is against our troops.
Well, I see it the same way now. These people are against our troops that are sacrificing themselves every day. As hundreds die in NY each day, paramedics rush in, they try to resuscitate and do what must be done to protect life. They have seen so much death and yet they keep going.
Then you have asses that will not sacrifice by just staying home. This is a global pandemic. Every single person in the world will have to sacrifice in some way. The world will not be the same for a long time to come. In the meantime, I wish these people wrapped in their flags and maga hats would just go home to keep our troops protected.
