Acting US Defense Secretary Christopher Miller is apparently

letter to all Department of Defense employees. “We are not a
people of perpetual war. It is the antithesis of everything for
which we stand and for which our ancestors fought. All wars must
end.”

mainstream media outlets declared Democrat Joe Biden the winner of
the November 3 election.
