When the country is doing disgraceful things. Particularly our armed forces and law enforcement.

Google has many thousands of employees that don't live in America.

And of those that do live in America, is it that hard to understand that some of them don't want to work for a defence contractor?

what scandal are you referring to?

What is the meaning of the ICE acronym?

When the country does indefensible things.
