To Wat it may concern,

If only our leaders could be trusted to use the military to defend
our borders and property and not to meddle or expand their own
personal property and influence, we might further sanity and peace
with a military.

The powerful are hated by a jealous few just for the power they
have, but when they misuse the power, they are hated by all but
their beneficiaries.
