I am writing as a veteran, (Korean era), and as a parent and grandparent. I applaud our Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, in his efforts to make contact with and work to defuse North Korea’s threats to peace. No one in their right mind wants to unleash another round of death and destruction. It is reprehensible for the president of the United States to thoughtlessly belittle these efforts, and blithely steer to war our nation and its people.
