Is camouflage a lie?  In a sense it is.  But you tell us POTUS always lies, then apparently believe what he says.  It’s a self-contradiction John.

 

We don’t know what the navy is doing.  They like it that way.

That depends on what countries these militias are from.

Again you take a legally-defined term and presume to redefine it for your own purposes.  There is only one militia in the USA John.  Only one.  You and I were both once part of it.  The militia has no particular wing.  The term militia is legally defined in the USA.  When you use the plural, you refer to other countries which may not have legally defined the term.  But we did.  You reject our reality and substitute your own.  Do refrain please.
