Opinion: Do you know what is more infectious than COVID-19? COURAGE

Opinion: Do you know what is more infectious than COVID-19? COURAGE

Listen up, America. You’re scared. You’re scared of an enemy that you can’t see and that is highly infectious. Well, you know what is more infectious than COVID-19? Courage. And you know who is more contagious with that than a whole cruise ship full of old people? The U.S. military, that’s who!

Today we’re hearing a lot about running home to hide from the enemy. Well, “work from home” sounds a helluva lot like “retreat” if you ask me. Can you imagine George Washington telling his freezing troops at Valley Forge to just work from home? Hell no! They gladly “embraced the suck,” despite costing the lives of nearly 2,000 Continental Army soldiers. You think the men and women who wear our uniform today are any less brave?

And with all due respect to “experts,” this “social distancing” thing sounds a lot like something France would do, not the U. S. of A. Our soldiers have faced down Nazis and Al Qaida, and they’re not about to “telecommute” to victory.
