As a veteran with more than thirty-five years of active duty, I fail to see how the Trump administration’s review of national monuments is an affront to military service.   What the Trump administration is doing is reviewing the massive and unprecedented Federal land grab under the Obama administration, much of it just a week before he left office.  Captain Perez is correct about many national monuments being treasures that tell the story of our military.  I would be offended and outraged it the Trump administration was to rescind or reduce any in size, but I seriously doubt such will happen.  I believe the review is focusing primarily on the hundreds of thousand acres of wide open spaces ranchers once used to graze cattle but were forced out by Obama’s unprecedented expansion and creation of new national monuments, perhaps to protect a few wild animals and to keep environmentalists happy.  I will reserve judgement until I see the results of the Trump review.
