Your help is urgently needed to keep Stars and Stripes operating as an independent news source that adheres to journalistic principles and ethics. Your help is needed for Stripes to continue providing fair, accurate and unbiased news for those who are serving our country and our veterans. They deserve nothing less than the unfiltered truth.

And they should feel betrayed...
COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- More than 15 years ago, Danish platoon commander Martin Tamm Andersen was leading his countrymen and U.S. Marines through the heat and sand of southern Afghanistan after a Taliban attack.
As Andersen’s vehicle moved at the rear of the column, everything was normal — until in one instant the world turned sand-colored. His body shook violently. “I had no idea what was going on,” he recalled. He ran his hands over his arms and legs to make sure they were still there.

“Dear Jonas,” the 79-year-old president wrote to Norway’s prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre.
“Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.
“Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.
“I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

Legal Mechanism to Challenge a U.S. President's Competency - Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution
How the 25th Amendment (Section 4) Works:
- Declaration of Inability: The Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet (or other body established by Congress) transmit a written declaration to Congress stating the President is unable to discharge their duties.
- Power Transfer: The Vice President immediately becomes Acting President.
- President's Return: The President can declare themselves fit to resume power by sending another written notice; if challenged, Congress decides.
- Congressional Decision: If the VP and Cabinet challenge the President's return, Congress must convene. Within 21 days, a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate is required to keep the Vice President as Acting President.

Donald Edward Keyhoe was born in 1897, at a time when human flight was still experimental. By the time he reached adulthood, aviation had become a defining feature of modern warfare and national power. Keyhoe graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and went on to serve as an officer and aviator in the U.S. Marine Corps. His military service placed him at the forefront of early 20th century aviation, giving him firsthand experience with the limits and possibilities of aircraft technology.
