Protesters who go too far should just go

A brief history lesson for those attending Ivy League schools, living in Dearborn, Michigan, etc.: Benedict Arnold was an American officer in the Revolutionary War who became a traitor defecting to the British army. After being found guilty of treason, he was banned from America, which he came to regret.

This is probably not taught in schools anymore. I think it would be the desire of most Americans to have those who chant “Death To America” “Death To Jews” or say they are Hamas be banned from America. Let them go where they want, but do not allow someone that’s wants the destruction of our country or death to its citizens live here.

My father and uncles were in World War II. Many were called back to Korea. I was in the Air Force during Vietnam. There were numerous Middle East campaigns. Millions of young men and women died protecting our freedom. They never had a chance to go to college, marry, have children, etc. They made this sacrifice for our freedom.

If there is a hereafter, they must be in agony watching what is going on in the country they died for. America, get a backbone before it’s too late or maybe it is too late. Peaceful protesting is legal, asking for destruction and death should not be.
