An open letter to Chris DeLuzio.

Who is my congresscritter. I'm calling this one the way I see it.

Apparently he's a USNA graduate that pulled a five and dive. He graduated, served his time in the Navy and once his minimum payback requirement of five years was up he left the Navy where he had kept his nose clean and was promoted pretty much on schedule. He then went to law school focusing on voting rights, election security and technology. That sounds to me like a pretty good education for someone that wants secure elections. It also sounds like a good education for someone that wants to steal elections. Hmmm.

The USNA  was established as a school for career officers however DeLuzio decided to bag it when his obligatory time was up. In effect this means he took up a slot that probably should have gone to someone planning on making the Navy/Marine Corps a career.I'm sure many of his classmates still serve the Navy/Marines proudly as senior officers. Whatever.

One of the things they study at Annapolis is the 1954 classic movie The Caine Mutiny, based on the novel by Herman Wouk. Captain Queeg is played by Humphrey Bogart. It's a study into duty, morality and leadership. Most of the movie is about the things leading up to the mutiny and the ensuing courts-martial. 

Queeg came aboard the Caine as a worn out, tired, nervous by the book officer that was assigned to captain the Caine and the officers start trying to undermine him pretty much at every turn. Queeg came to the officers asking for help and they turn their backs on him. Rather than try and help Queeg be successful they undermine him at every turn. The officers took the cowardly route. They laughed at him behind his back and ignored many of his orders. They felt he was not good enough to be their captain.

We have a duly elected president that won 77.4 million votes but it seems he's not good enough to DeLuzio's  president. Who asked him if he was good enough? 77.4 million voters thought he was when they elected him and immediately he and others decided that what may be good enough for 77.4 million Americans isn't good enough for you and your party. So you act like one of the officers on the Caine, Tom Keefer. 

When you went to Washington you instantly forgot about who put you into office and immediately started to march in lockstep with whatever the party wanted you to do. 

You have been an embarrassment to Pennsylvania. At presidential speeches Pennsylvanians stand for young men fighting brain cancer. We stand for the parents of a murdered daughter. We stand for a young person selected for the USMA at West Point that is following his father's footsteps. We stand to put citizens over illegal immigrants. Instead you chose to sit on your sorry ass. I am embarrassed to have such a party ass kisser person as my congressman. 

I may disagree with the way John Fetterman votes sometimes but I'm proud to have a man like him as my senator because he puts the country first. Unlike the officers of the Caine (and the rest of the congress Democrats) he wants the current president to be successful because he wants the country to be successful. He has integrity. Fetterman want's the current president to be successful because he wants the country successful.

The pimplebrain seditious stunt you any your buddy-pals pulled as an effort to demoralize our servicemen should have had you jailed. When I served we attended classes on the UCMJ once or twice annually and current servicemen have told me that the services still do. As a junior officer you probably gave UCMJ classes.

Personally I think the six of you were testing the waters to see if you could pull off a mutiny or even a coup to have the president removed but that's just my opinion. Prove me wrong, Mister Keefer.

The grand jury gave you a no bill because you feigned innocence. Much like the charge of malicious compliance it's a pretty hard to prove. You squirmed out of those charges rather nicely. I expected no less. Just like Lieutenant Tom Keefer out of the movie.

I see where you want us to pack up, come home and leave the Iranian situation unfinished. Truth is the war has been in the making for 47 years, long before you were born. Seven presidents have kicked that can further down the road and the current president decided to pick it up and deal with it once and for all based on the ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure rule. Letting Iran get nuclear weapons and a delivery system means an almost instant attack on Israel and probably the United States. If we leave now we will eventually have to return to finish the job and that means more casualties and expense.

So far casualties have been exceptionally light. As of this writing we have lost 15 servicepeople. To put it in perspective, during the length of the war Chicago has suffered 99 murders. President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are doing an incredible job of taking care of something that should have been dealt with decades ago.

Yet I have the feeling that you would rather have our services lose two aircraft carriers and three divisions of out troops just to be able to embarrass a sitting president. In fact I have the feeling you have turned your back on your alma mater and your former classmates, some of which are currently serving. You have just bitten the hand that gave you a start in your career. I see how you are.

You belong to a political party that has a simple one plank platform, hate Trump.

You ought to take a lesson from John Fetterman.

I can't speak for him but it would probably be a safe bet that he voted for Kamala Harris and realized that his girl lost and accepted it. He realized he was representing a state that voted for Trump, accepted it and just decided to carry on and do what he could for the Commonwealth and the Country. He appears to have rejected the Democratic party's one plank platform and is voting for the betterment of all as he sees it.

I may disagree with many of Fetterman's ideas but I respect him.

I am one man. Still, I see what you did. You're just like one of the officers that stuck it to Captain Queeg.

Here's a freebie. The Caine Mutiny.

Needless to say, Trump isn't a Queeg. He's a competent president. 

Treat him like one. Stop trying to make him fail. By doing so you're trying to make the country fail. Listen to John Fetterman and start trying to make the country better instead of dragging it down.
