To all in The Gulch, have a meaningful and happy Memorial Day.
To this day, I never understood why this country did what they did. (Take over Frances destain-to-fail attempt to hold power over a former colony).
And doing so with no clear path to victory.
I was 17 when the draft ended.
I was not a "Fortunate Son"
My two options were: College, or Canada.
I could have volunteered and (possibly) picked my deployment, I scored high on the aptitude tests they were actively administering in the high schools back then.
But I wanted no part of the machine, as it existed then.
Had a great job (School Command) but had to put up with idiots.
I moved around and wrangled an Honorable early out.
The older boys there all volunteered.
That was how the working poor roll.
More than a few volunteered for combat infantry in the war zone.
To my knowledge, they all came back in one piece.
Changed, clearly, but they were the rough and tumble type.
I guess they wanted to fight like our fathers did in WWII.
Different war. Different tactics. Different outcome.
Not one volunteered for second tour.
BuyDumbs own colleagues were pointing out the fact (and publicly saying as much) that he wasn't up the the task of VP!
Even further back, when Teddy Kennedy was still alive and Donald Trump was decades from office, he asked Ted "who's the smartest person in Congress?" Ted hesitated a moment and said "there are good people on both sides of the isle" and mentioned a few.
When he then asked "Who's the dumbest?"
Without hesitation Ted replies: "Joe Biden"
We can all debate when Joe's marked decline happened, but it's clear, he never had far to fall.
Me dino had no problem with Trump's statement that began with "Joe Biden was not for Open Borders, etc."
Me dino has been saying that "handlers" were in control of their "Puppet-In-Chief" for at least half of Sleepy Joe's (p)residency.
Doubt anyone here recalls me writing that, at the start of Biden's State Of The Union Address, the glum expressions of his staff entering the chamber struck the dino as them not even wanting to show their faces.
Oops, why did the thought of a firing squad just now up and jump into me dino's prehistoric widdle head?
What a trip! nb
Thank you to all who served!
Love Buydem as captain of the "sinking" ship.
Now, how fast can we repair the damage from the
iceberg that the cheating SOB ran the country into?
