While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents (acting under-color-of-law) pepper spray and arrest George Retes, a U.s. subject/enemy/citizen AND a U.s. Army veteran, as he is arriving at work.

       Postscript: Retes was incarcerated for three days before he was released without charges.

       Question: Is this the freedom that Retes was defending as a member of the U.s. Armed Forces?
