Thank you for your service to our country, MilAnon, and thanks for this insight. I worry about being identifiable as having ever contributed to the research here, for the sake of our safety. Last night, after dark, I stepped outside to take out some trash, and I was stunned to see a mail truck parked at the end of my driveway with the engine running. We don't get mail delivery; we've rented a Post Office Box for years. So it seemed weird to have a mail truck running, and – BAM – the mail carrier had some junk mail in his hand. He said he wanted to confirm that we lived here and handed over the junk mail. It was absolute crap. I took the mail from his hand but I would have been ready to defend myself, if necessary, because we're all legally licensed to carry in my family. Who expects a junk mail delivery after dark on a Saturday?
I've often wondered how Patriots get suicided, how they let their guard down. This scenario seems like a possibility. It was alarming, but we are ready.
So why tell that story? I don't think I would ever wear an emblem that indicates to the world that I was ever a part of the research here. I was scared last night with a weapon on my side. Out in public I would be a lot more vulnerable, and I'm sure the bad guys are gonna carry this grudge against us forever, so let's be careful.
