Our wrath remains

To all who read these presents, Greetings:

When you see the headlines, the commentaries, the talk shows, the social media bloviating, and hear the wonks and pundits of all shapes and sizes wringing their hands and gnashing their teeth over the proposed personnel and budgetary cuts to the United States military

Be you Friend or Foe…

If you think America is weaker

Then ask an Air Force B2 Pilot

If you think America can’t get there

Then ask a Navy Aircraft Carrier Commander

If you think America won’t have enough people to get the job done

Then ask a Marine

If you think America has lost its ability to fight anywhere, anytime against any enemy in 24 hours or less

Then ask a Ranger

If you think the tip of the American spear has been blunted and you believe there is truth to the end of American Military dominance

We can assure you, though we are few,

We are the perennial Tom Joad and our wrath remains.

Both living and dead

Soldier or Sailor

Airman or Marine

Uniformed or Civilian

General or Private

Just look and you’ll see

We’ll be there.

Lt. Col. David S. Eaton, U.S. Army

Department of Joint, Interagency and Multinational Operations
