Do you show your love of country through military or government service? Sure, lots of people do that, and they do it with gallantry and bravery. William Calley […]

This was in response to the comment that Brock Turner’s father had made about his son’s 6-month sentence in prison being a steep price for “20 minutes of action.” For those who are not familiar with Brock Turner’s case, he was a […]
