In this epesode of Veterans voice, Jason talks about the National Day of the Deployed and how we should also recognize the families of veterans for all the support that they give to our soldiers. Without the support of veteran families we would have a much different military. Below is a transcript of Jason’s video. hello everybody,  I just wanted to take a minute while I was sitting out back enjoy my cup of morning coffee. Here is an interesting fact about October 26th, do me a favor real quick go look at your calendar is there anything marked on the 26th of October? Chances are probably not. October 26 is known as the National Day of the Deployed. It’s a day where we take time to honor our service members for their commitment that they’ve made to the country and their sacrifices that they’ve made. But here’s the really cool thing about this day, it also takes time to honor their family members. That’s something we do not hear too much about these days. Veteran family members are very important to our soldiers. So today I want to take time and talk about the family members of our service members.  When I was in one of the biggest things of life. The support rock I had was built around my family so I want to take time to thank everybody, who is actively deployed, who has been deployed in the past, and the family members of everyone. So today or sometime this weekend when you guys are out and about. If you see a veteran you know wearing his hat proud to be a veteran, do me a favor walk up thank them. Then walk and thank their family. Without the support from the family I think military would be a lot different. Here at United We Are One we want to thank all those who have been deployed our are currently deployed. We thank you all for what you do. Thanks guys have a great weekend.

In the video above Jason talks about the immigration border crisis and the Posse Comitatus Act. Thankyou for taking the time to visit United We Are One and checking out our Veterans Voice. Here is the transcript from the video. Jason here just got a quick question for you guys. What do you all think about this caravan of the immigrants coming to the border and president trump deploying the troops to the border to help deter this issue? I really want your opinions on the rules of engagement, what should be allowed and what should not be allowed for the military to do in this situation? Keep in mind there’s something called the Posse Comitatus Act that limits the power of the military to perform tasks of law enforcement here in the United States. So with that being said how do you think the military should handle the situation? The military is not allowed to detain or they cannot apprehend. The Posse Comitatus act honestly makes them pretty much powerless. Due to this act our military is pretty much powerless. So what do you think the military should be able to do?  I know when I was still in the army in active duty during my deployments, the rules of engagement changed drastically from my first to my second one. I remember going from being able to engage anyone that had a weapon to my second deployment where we had to actively be engaged before we could return fire. So with that being said how does the military handle and end all of this? I know the National Guard they’re deployed in their state they have the right to engage. They can control what’s being done. The active duty military on the other hand has restrictions. So what is your opinion? I would love to hear your thoughts on how the military should handle this. Please guys reach out let me know. I don’t know what you all think but I’ve got my opinion and I’d love to hear yours. Have a great day land I look forward to hearing from you.
