USPS service is a service that provides an amenity that adds to the quality of life of all Americans. It makes an essential service available at a cost that all Americans can afford, one of very few services that does not not discriminate.

Yes it is more essential to some people's lives than others. Unlike the military, NSA, CIA, FBI, Treasury, IRS, Congress, administration, etc., all of which also provide necessary services to us as citizens, it generates revenue that offsets much if not all its expenses. Taxpayers pay the cost of the rest, and according to every survey, they are grateful for and highly satisfied with the service (until it was sabotaged). Many if not most Americans say they 'love' the Post Office and Postal workers.

I am confident many Americans that know today, as a result of the outrage created by this assault, that hundreds of thousands of veterans are dedicated and proud employees. They love USPS even more than before. USPS employees are proud and dedicated to the responsibility of providing and care taking this essential service for their fellow citizens. I think many Americans envy their pride of work and sense of personal responsibility. The assault with its supposedly 'unintended' consequences is an attack on the USPS, the dedicated employees of the USPS, and all Americans, including service men and women at home and abroad, vets, and seniors, to name just a few.

I think we should stand up and defend our citizens and our country, no matter what the motivations were, no matter who is responsible. Whoever is responsible has placed themselves above American citizens, and they have made America weaker, instead of stronger. I hope Congress will stand up for us and Fire and prosecute everyone who is responsible. We need to insist upon it.

That is my opinion, for what it is worth.

P.S. America's enemies, Russia, China, N. Korea and Iran being the best know, are targeting America and Americans and our institutions including banks with which we have entrusted our life savings, and our online and offline identity, and our personal computers. NSA directors do not bank online nor do they pay their bills online to avoid vulnerability. All of your data and your identity can be hacked and held hostage by Windows and Linux ransomware. Paper ballots cannot be hacked by Russia and creates a backup that assures of a credible election. Without the USPS, we would all be climbing without a safety line. Many IT professionals minimize their online exposure to minimize their risk.
