My letter of thanks to a 4 star admiral and a comdenation of California's current goverernor and Los Angeles' current mayor.

 When you were doing something that protected the lives of 4 billion people to keep them free you were paid 1/100th of what you are being paid to benefit the wealth of thousands. 

To me your greatest illustration of genius is that you managed vast, complicated machines manned by young men with barely a high school education who were paid 1/2 of what they would have made in the private sector.   To this day, I just dont see how that is possible.  And why isn't that spoken about ever???  Why dont military leaders who run for office talk about this????  

20,000 buildings have burned to the ground in Los Angeles because the Mayor and Governor had virtually no management skills whatsoever.   The toxicity of the water, air and soil will reduce the life spans of its 5m residents by at least 20 years for the next century.   

But if you run on this, no one will listen.  Tragic.  What is wrong with our brains that we fail to fathom this?

Thank you for all that you have done.

Truly

Graham
