Letter: Trump and cronies should be locked up, veteran says

I am very opinionated, but I try to not publicly air my opinions, because we all are entitled to our own.

However, what started to be a special day in my life, turned into one of the very worst I could have ever expected.

I have never had any respect for the person that occupies the office of commander-in-chief and president of the country for which I and so many of my comrades risked our lives when we served in the United States military, whether in combat or not. Especially when his daddy “bought” him bone spurs so he wouldn’t have to serve anyone but himself.

I am a 100% disabled veteran who would have taken a bullet for any of our presidents if I had been called on, except Donald Trump, because I was a “sucker” and a “loser.”

That said, in my opinion, there is no doubt that Trump is responsible, and incited the lawless behavior, committed by his followers, on Jan. 6, and I also believe that the people who put him in office should take some of the responsibility for the evil things that he has committed during his shameful behavior over the last four years.

Lastly, I believe that Trump, his children, and all of his lap dogs like Ted Cruz should be arrested and sent to prison, like he did to those babies that they took from their families and locked up.
