butchlocthe 21 gun salute
I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as the government under went a peaceful transition of power a few weeks ago.
At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism while Barack Obama took his Oath of office.
However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched 21 Marines, in full dress uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the President.
It was then that I realized how far America's Military had deteriorated.
Every last one of them missed.
