My Dad had to be drafted and fight in WW2 in Okinawa. Didn't get anything for it but some shrapnel to take home. BTW, I hate the rich. We must overthrow them. Do the math. There are millions more of us than them.
Because as the first democracy we had a lingering fear of letting go of a true leader of the nation. So we stopped short of keeping the office subject to much of anything short of the Congress collectively deciding to remove them. If the people want a convicted SA they get a sexual predator.
As a former intelligence officer I had to go through a very intrusive Positive Vetting process which is premised on the principle that you are a security risk and need to prove otherwise - leaders of any country with access to TS codeword material should have at least this.
When I worked at a BOP penitentiary (as an R.N.), the Secret Service is who handled our credentialing.I had my criminal record searched; they did a credit analysis on me (and my husband), interviewed my NEIGHBORS and friends, and searched all civil records.Drug test done and polygraph, if requested.
My brother got a job with Lockheed Martin. Security check with travel patterns, previous jobs, social media, bank/loans, etc including the same for his family & his friends. Supposedly, same security clearance level as a president. How did Trump pass clearance?!
When I raise this point I get the "because he was elected president and doesnt have to comply with security requirements". I would think that every nation with an intelligence partnership would be very quickly compartmentalising all their classified material - for Australia the AUSTEO stamp!
His SIL Kushner, Ivanka and 8 others didn’t pass security clearance to be on Trump’s White House administration until Trump intervened and got them in. Think about that! These people were considered a threat to our country’s security and STILL had access thanks to the Asshat. 🤦🏻♀️
A total shit show and I still don't understand why the USA doesn't have checks and balances. Maybe because too much is politicised? In most countries people responsible for security and justice are not political appointees.
My partner was going to join in 2011. He went to start the process but apparently his parents had truancy fines they didn't pay when they jumped from home to home... He couldn't join because they were in the thousands and we were brand new parents with no money

Say the Presidential Medal of Freedom is higher value than Medal of Honor.
Call POWs loses and suckers.
Cancel a Memorial service because you don’t want to get your hair wet.
Don’t want wounded warriors in your parade because they are ugly
Have Republicans vote AGAINST Veteran Bill.
Have your party delay military promotions.
Vow to prosecute military leaders who didn’t bow
But somehow military personnel and their families vote for you.
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!
