Being a realist. With all that's going on plus him apparently backing down to the public, despite all that we know. We'll believe if Trump does play that ace, and it works, but we're not seeing that happen, quite the opposite. We can hope all we want, til it hopefully happens, but we gotta be real.
I've been at the mercy or men just following orders. Never again.
I'm at a loss of what to do. No clue and genuinely scared. As a military member, I have little to no voice and feel powerless. I tried talking to people individually and in small groups, people I think I can trust, but without leadership, nothing can get done. Everybody I imagine sees themselves individually, unable to accomplish anything on our own, unwilling to take any big risks. I don't even know what I'm serving, and the government owns me for another 8 years. I'm praying, and praying for some direction.
