Veteran: ‘Yahoo’ in White House and Muslim imams ignore responsibilities

What is leadership? As a captain in the Army, I learned that it meant being a risk-taker, an individual, and most importantly standing up for the principles upon which our country was founded. Every leader, including religious leaders must stand up for their followers and their beliefs.

That includes Muslim imams, most of whom have chosen to cower rather than confront the radical Islamists. As long as our yahoo in the White House and these Islamic “leaders” ignore their responsibilities, we will continue to experience various methods of Islamic terrorism in the U. S. Maybe Donald Trump has it right after all.
