A long army reserve weekend is ending. Many upset people also. I’m not sorry, but since 2001, you knew reserve and guard units get deployed. Why the shock in a unit that has been home for over six years? You have had over 20 years to get out if you did not want to deploy. #ArmyLife

Both will say they won and this is proof the other side is going to lose - so send money to make sure that happens #debate2024
