Speaking of that traitor, I’m genuinely curious. For her burisal, did she receive military honors provided by the Air Force or was they provided by some local outfits who supported her and Tan the Conman’s idiocy? ---

My Google-Fu informs me that the Air Force refused to give her a military funeral due to her involvement in the insurrection. On a side note, I’m pretty sure that she and I went to the same elementary school at the same time. I don’t think I knew her since she would have been two grades below me, but it’s possible that she might have been a classmate of my younger sister. I’ll have to ask her if she remembers an Ashli with an I in any of her classes. ---

Wait just a moment here! Just one moment! Tan the Traitor Conman and his discipes were having an orgiastic moment with, do I have this correct, _an alteration to The Star-Spangled Banner_? That’s quite some hubris there, not to mention hypocrisy. ---

Well, having a Secret Service detail provided to every child in the nation _would_ probably lower unemployment to non-detectable levels. Of course, the degree to which this would necessitate lowering standards for entry into the service suggests that it might not actually make many children _safer_.
