The moral fiber of this country is severely damage, perhaps parents need the get back to parenting. Maybe teaching “accountability” would go far in my mind.

I was also taught to respect authority. For sure doesn't make any sense to call someone with the ability you had at your disposal to call you choice words, but you were protecting US citizens not the ones disrespecting you. I appreciate your service for Our Country, it's what allows me & others to walk around free & safe. I think more personal responsibility is needed in our society. Last November I was racing at SGMP, while walking through the staging lanes a group, black & white were talking And the young black man asked Why can't we all get along like we do here at the racetrack, Amen. But then it is definitely easier when you have a common interest. I pray that in my lifetime things improve
