Lets face it. What do you expect to happen with the total disrespect for Law, Order and the Constitution being broadcast daily, and if any of these brave men go to their superiors for marching orders or the assurance that they will be kept in the loop they are derided and threatened by political carpetbaggers. The stress on men like this must be phenomenal!
We need to make it clear, we support them, and we will have their backs in what is to come. Don't depend on those career colonels. Trust in the American People! Come out and talk with us! Don't limit yourselves to Democrat boot-lickers who demand diversity and all sorts of immorality. They are nothing, and they'll be less than nothing once the ball starts rolling. Don't shut yourselves away from your roots: AMERICA!!

This is very sad indeed. Someone who had accomplished so much in his military career, and husband and father as well. Unfortunately, suicide is becoming all too common with our veterans, who in most cases have served WAY too many tours in the muslim hell holes. They need to be breaking things and killing people, not playing traffic cop for a bunch of worthless muzzies.

This is an unmeasurable tragedy, and loss for all of us.
We must do ALL that is possible to help these men find their way back.

Personally, I'd place 'blame' squarely on the mis-managed administration of the Politically Inept Pentagon management Team put in place and left alone by the Obama-biden Administration... They had no concept of what war fighting means...Setting in place contradictory Rules of Engagement, and then letting their political Officer Corps administer them was virtually TREASONUS. Those actions were political and administrative IEDs planted to screw up the Military for on-coming generations...And then they allowed the Veteran's Administration to mis-manage their care of Vets in favor of the Union and Politics within the Federal Bureaucracy....Again, administrative IEDs, planted to sabotage the American future.... Some of that promised "...FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE..." OBlameless promissed America....
President TRUMP has his work cut out in the next four yars, to give usp back America..... My dream is to see Obama perp-walked into some courthouse, somewhere. One of Pres. Trump's biggest agenda tasks in his next term; is to re-build the futures [ and their future] of our Veterans, and the Veteran's.Administration... All those 'other'[ Political] changes will most likely be easier done!

How sad. You have to wonder what triggered this. How long before you see the same thing with LEO ?
Condolences to his family and friends.

Having served in Viet Nam, I have always had feelings of being a Pawn in a much bigger game of dishonesty and power players that USE the military to make lots of money dishonestly.
I have no doubt Master Sgt. Marckesano, after putting his life on the line many times finally realized he was serving Dishonest Monsters as Masters. That realization takes everything you believe in and trashes it in the most nasty way. Thank YOU for your exemplary service and RIP Master Sgt. Marckesano, they can't abuse you any longer! I got past that and fight every day to get rid of the Ba$tards that run our government in dishonest ways!
