People send telegrams every day. Do you go to a grocery store that has western unions?Let's be fair to the Trump administration, whether one is a Dem or Republican or Socialist.
This is 2020, something that even this eightysomething acknowledges.
Print newspapers are as dead as the dodo bird. (What's the last time you sent something called a "telegram"?)
People simply no longer have the desire to touch paper each morning.
Everyone (with exceptions like me) now have some newfangled invention called a "smartphone." People are always staring at them as they almost bump into me on the sidewalk. So that's how the armed forces will get the Stars and Stripes.
