text:  Like, this is embarrassing and it's shameful and no one should be put into that situation. Tom in Annapolis, you're on WBAL. Hi, thank you for taking my call. I was a lifelong Democrat and I have a left-wing Democrat family. I voted for Jimmy Carter way back when and before him. I voted for George McGovern. Since then, I've been an independent and I'm retired military. I want to tell you what it looks like from a military point of view.
