At the age of 18 I took an oath to defend the constitution of the United States from all enemies. Both from outside our borders and from within. The oath did not cover defending the president or the government. My forefathers, in their wisdom, knew the day might come that we might have to defend America from a rogue government. They also gave us the right to own and bear arms in order to defend ourselves. My oath did not end with my retirement from the military. I still will stand tall in defense of my country. For this reason, I applaud those states who want to create a state defense force. Oregon had one during WWll to defend the coastline and rivers. I believe every state should implement a state defense force. Unfortunately, I believe it will soon be needed. I know it would have to be a volunteer organization but I believe every state has enough veterans who would volunteer and help organize. I am getting older and don't get around as easily as I use to but I would be there for my state. I would pray it never be needed but I want to be prepared ahead of time just in case. Better safe than sorry. There are already accusations of political tampering with elections. I'm afraid these cases are just a drop in the bucket. It will get much worse between now and November. I can foresee the possiblity of our government attempting to stop the November elections or at least postponing them. There are those who won't agree but, should we not be prepared for worst and pray for the best.
