Retired Army Lieutenant General Calls For March On Washington Over USPS Slowdown

Frequent Trump critic, retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honore reacted fiercely to the Postal Service slowdown, particularly in the way that it's affecting members of the armed forces and veterans. Brian Williams had invited him on to discuss the activation of the DOD to collaborate a response to COVID-19 testing and treatment, but Williams first asked him about Trump's obscene and overt sabotage to the USPS operations in the hopes of rigging the 2020 election in his favor.

Lt. Gen. Honore was so outraged he called for citizens to march in the streets on Washington, D.C.

Just like with seniors and social security checks, medicines for all, etc. This affects people of ALL political stripes and Dems and *sane* Republicans need to unite.

All that is needed are veterans with the gravitas to lead the march. LTG Honore should make some calls - get a few more retired flag officers on board - and put out the word.

Talking about a veteran's march accomplishes nothing. Leaders that veterans recognize and respect must issue the call.

Retired flag officers are needed to lead the march.
