Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper wonders about the thought process individual military members must go through when they are ordered to duty against their fellow Americans?
It is one thing to be sent off to a foreign country to kill young strangers in the name of stopping dictatorial ambitions. It is quite another to be told your duty is to see that grandma and Uncle Alvin toe whatever outrageous line the demented POTUS puts down.
It would be the keeper’s suggestion for the young military people called to patrol hometown Main streets to look beyond the orders they are compelled to follow and recognize that the duration of a dements masochistic leader is as temporary as a winter of really bad weather.
Before the keeper struggles to get into his shrunken Korean-era Ike jacket and reports for duty as a veteran neighborhood “enforcer,” he announces that he only follows orders from Phyllis and she has the good sense to recognize recliner time as official duty.
