If you want to know why people wanted to avoid war with Iran for so long, you're finding out in real time

Here's the first-ever Linkedin message from this company, which seems to be a small company run by two millennials with some background in migrant shelters.

Four months ago they suggest they won a contract to run a "mass care site" in Lexington, KY, but this is their first-ever federal contract.

You can’t expect a treasonous 5x draft dodging trashy criminal to properly and respectfully honor the fallen troops that he’s responsible for killing. I truly hate him.
