My dad was a World War II veteran in Europe, serving more that four years to ensure that fascist Germany would not succeed in overtaking much of the continent with its White Nationalist values. He knew that two wars had already happened on the same soil, and that it was time for a mechanism to prevent a third war from happening in Europe. NATO was formed and has resulted in 80 years of peace on the continent. He would be appalled to think the U.S. would turn its back on Europe after so much American blood was lost. This is not a game. President Trump is playing with lives we have always considered allies.
