When was the last time Pocahontas worried about military affairs, military funding (except to cut it) or studied military science?
She lied about your race for personal advancement.
She decried people flipping houses for profit. She did it and took advantage of an elderly person to do it.
Now, she is concerned about things military. And the reason would be she spotted a lime light?
I sincerely hope no one was grieveously injured as she barged her way to the cameras.
the globalists are angry that a privately owned company refuses to be a warmongering puppet. how dare they disobey us!
