--------------------------------- and there you go , get some advice from a 'government man' and real risk taker that retired after 20 years in USA Military serbing 'mrobama' and 'clintoon' and 'gwb' amongst other 'scums' while USA Military declined eh !!
I have 5 CICs during my time, we do not get anymore input in to who that is than you do. Which is why our oath of office is to defend the Constitution, not any one person.
Who told you our military declined? Whom ever it was has been lying to you.
but as you are just the "keep my head down and hide" kind of a person, I am not surprised you did not know any better. you would never doubt what your masters tell you.
