Voice of the people: Prevent genocide with American boots on the ground

Prevent genocide with American boots on the ground

One thing I have observed from this war - Vladimir Putin, in his megalomaniacal killing spree of the innocents, has failed to heed the conclusion of Napoleon that in matters of war, “Morale is to material, as four is to one.”

I spent 23 years in the military and have seen war and its ghastly consequences on innocent civilians. If this genocide in which Putin wishes to reduce Ukrainians to a people without a nation, as are Armenians, continues, I hope that at some time in this war there are Americans boots on the ground in Ukraine to prevent that from happening.
