San Francisco Desires the Moral High Ground
The Bay Area has a longstanding history of opposing authority since the 60s–seen above is an example of their up-and-coming counterforce to all the military buildup that the US government has overseen. So it comes as no surprise that they have extended their battle with the government to our veterans. Their pernicious and honorable influence [...]
War And Remembrance
