a newly graduated Ensign from the USNA... serving on the Bridge of the USS Little Rock.... had you asked me then, "What would you think if in 50 years the United States of America was on the verge of becoming a Socialist/Communist State?", I would have told you it was impossible... Never in our Country with our heritage and pride, would that be even remotely possible...

Yet, here we are, and I fault myself as much as anyone, for letting it get this far, being complacent in my beliefs that righteous men and women would stand in the way...

I pray we can avoid bloodshed... but I have little faith that it will be avoided... God Bless every Patriot who feels the outrage as I do...

50-years ago I was still in Viet Nam. Came home to name calling, spitting and all sorts of thing by these same folks who want to be in power today.

I, for one, am proud to salute you !! I lost several classmates there, and I know they salute you, as well.... I feel we are on an island, setting up perimeter defenses already... I cannot express my grief for what I think is about to occur..

Your not alone, brother.
 
OK BOOMER!!! /had to

Things seem down right now. Reminder--Picked up seats in the house. Broke even in the Senate when most of those up were (R). 2 years means its the Dems turn to defend. All that defund the police backfired huge.

Chin up. Embrace the suck. Reinforcements are here. You don't fight alone.

Until people are willing to do the grotesque atrocities that the enemy is not willing to do, the enemy will win. What must be done is to make the enemy fearful. Truly put the fear of God in the enemy. It's actually really easy to do, unfortunately most people don't have the stomach for it.
 
There is no doubt in my mind that before the end of the Harris Presidency - every legal gun owner will in fact be declared a domestic terrorist.

They are and have been in power for the past 40 years and that is how we are here. Been there done that.

50 years ago I was headed to Southeast Asia to quote; fight the commies.
At home we were killing kids my age at Kent. Woodstock was all the glitter and the hippies were taking over ca.
If you talked about God or Country even back then you were silenced.
Kinda like today! Someone once wrote; there Nothing is new under the sun!

Not sure where you've been for the last several months, but the blood has been flowing for a bit now. Mostly in the form of innocent citizens who get caught in the wrong place with the wrong mindset (They're just peaceful protesters. They won't hurt me if I stop my car or ignore them) and in law enforcement ambushed or otherwise attacked while being hung out to dry by liberal scum "leadership".
So yeah, too late on the bloodshed.

God bless you! You guys were my heroes! 1 was very young during this time and I’ll never forget the sacrifices that were made!
 
I watched you guys play football, chase girls, drive fast cars. Wanted to be you. Then came Viet Nam.
 
50 years ago I was 15, drinking beer when I could, and playing with my dick........
 
I was 9 and falling in love with my first girlfriend. We held hands going to lunch and I bought her a Valentines heart full of about 12 pieces of chocolate candy. She dumped me for a guy with a bigger candy bar than me.....

I had the pleasure of visiting with a man that served in Korea this morning.
Served in the navy, although you'd never know it, he has always been a humble
man of respect.
He is one of the last "tavern round table guys" I've had the honor to know.
50 years ago I was fairly fresh.

I was 2 years old....

Dad just came home from being stationed in Germany.

To everyone who served during that time period- Thank you! I couldn’t say it then, but I can say it now.
 
I was 5.

Much respect and thanks for you brave men who served our Nation, and gratitude for keeping our liberties safe.
