poor grammar by the third line (and continual poor grammar subsequently) makes the OP of this letter look ridiculous and subverts any intent it could attempt to gain traction.
The biggest mistake is that the military takes the oath to support and defend the Constitution, NOT the people. The police protect the people, the military protects and supports the Constitution.
My point is that the military does NOT protect people; it protects the Constitution. "I, (name), so solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same..."
Maybe the OP of this letter put their heart and soul into making it and this is the best that our educational system could do for them. Your critique and the upvotes that accommodate it are what's wrong with our world. Too many keyboard warriors not willing to take action.
Instead of allowing the message to fail because you believe the grammatical errors subvert any intent, someone could correct the error and then repost. Wwg1wga.
Though written grammar in the proper form is becoming antiquated thanks to Common Core, I maintain that it is the key to being taken seriously by anyone holding the authority to make decisions that may impact, We the People.
Honestly, I tend to blame social media and more importantly people typing on stupid small screens! But "Dear General's and Admiral's" is really bad and yes, it kills credibility.
Side note. The person who wrote this said it needs to go viral. How fucking DUMB does it look to make a serious statement when even basic grammar isn't followed? I'll answer it for you. Very dumb.
Red-pilling people that have almost overdosed on red pills does little to promote the cause. Discouraging others from doing what they can, no matter their reading level, actually hurts the cause. Do you really think military is going to see that anyway? I don't. But, there are a bunch of their friends on F**kbook that will see it. The point is the message, not the grammar.
The message should be taken seriously. You think the Chinese don't bitch slap you for fucking up basic grammar? They take shit seriously. We should as well. I applaud the person's message here. But I refuse to share it with my name attached to it because I check my work before begging to make something go #VIRAL

The police are NOT there to protect people. They are there to protect the ds interests.

Police are there to to enforce policy
But the three exclamation points at the end - !!! - really brought it home to me :)
Welcome to the world of Facebook memes.
Or should I say...
Welco0mm 2 da w0rld of Facebook Meme's!!
Every time I see this stuff I just CRINGE. It never NOT looks like complete amateur hour.
What's wron'g wit'h th'e gramma'r? At least they didn't post "United State's Citizen's". /s
First thing I 'saw' when I read it was ... typed by someone with no education ...
Retired English teacher here, and yes, these are always cringe worthy.
Probably to get around machine learning and OCR of images
Soros would have been able to afford a proofreader.

But thanks! I like the purplish shade of maroon too.
You sure are quick to judge grammar. But, what did you do to promote the cause today?

Almost as bad as those emails or posts with subjects like 'Must Read!'
Check my post history before making accusations. Or did you not think to do that? Yeah. Thought so.
