The D.C. Area Has Been Turned Into the Equivalent of the Baghdad “Green Zone”

January 15, 2021

I love learning military history and logistics. Why you might ask? Well, my family has a long history of service – beginning in the 17th century – but, when I was of the age to join the military, girls were pretty much restricted to typing and nursing, neither of which I thought suited me.
