And if you are not underage at a kegger... you aren’t in college.

I have a new (and first-ever) found respect for an NFL athlete.

Well done Dre. Or should I say “sir?”

Cheers, Sirhr
 
I keep telling you guys, the skinny jean wearing goatee sporting vegan sjw is not the norm of the last two generations... they fought a 18 year long fucked up conflict killing terrorists while getting stabbed in the back by DC the JAG and the O Corps, not one goddam "we wont go" march in this whole period.

I have high hopes there are at least 10% of them buying ammo and ars while educating themselves in the Constitution and sowing deep seeded hatred and distrust of big evil Government
 
Not to be a pessimist, but the number of young men and women that have served since the WOT began is a drop in the bucket compared to same age group in the general population. Add to that, not all vets are pro gun. So IMO, the percentage is lower that 10%. More like 6 or 7. Hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, but there are a ton of kids who are not vets... but who are good American... capitalistic and hard-working.

They are out there. They just aren't Instagram Models, Boy Band Butt Pirates and SJW's. They are the silent kids who are working jobs in High School, deer hunt in the fall and are growing up Trump.

Back in the '70s... everyone thought we were done in the post-Vietnam Hippie leftist era... and then we all became Reagan kids and Hippies became Yuppies and got BMW's.

The pendulum swings. This time its getting a big kick in the right direction... from Communists. Who have over-reached again!

Cheers,

Sirhr
 
true but you wont see them getting spit on by their own generation like you did in the one before mine,,, the deep state and JAG along with the DC suckasses have sown their own seeds of destruction with stabbing in the back they did to these kids.

The reception those guys got was just plain evil. My uncles can attest to that. Most of my senior NCO's were Vietnam vet's and I will always be grateful for that. The treatment these men received plays a huge role in my political beliefs. So SIRHR is correct in stating the pendulum swings.

In my business the gene pool is real thin right now. Everyone who actually wants to work is working. Set up interviews and they are usually late if they show up at all. I had a guy who was working, schedule a late afternoon appointment. We don't usually interview late but he was working. He came in stinky, dirty and sweaty. First thing he apologized for his appearance.

I hired him and did not even look at his experience. He was a honorable working man and I figured that was a good start. I could teach him what he needed to learn. I can never teach character no matter how hard I try. But a man with character is worth teaching.
 
There are certainly good kids out there. I see it in small town northern Michigan. Unfortunately, they are vastly outnumbered. Again, I hope I'm wrong.

Where'd that dust come from.

Yep. I see it here, there, everywhere.

But Im afraid the tide is turning and we're being out bred and out numbered.
 
What woman of breeding age, and in her right mind, would want to hook up with a near worn out, (not really but well worn), set in his ways, old man like me. They want young cute dick. :cool:

So far so good but will be equally impressed if he doesn't end up on his knees like the other ingrate filth on his team during the national anthem.

I have seen this as well and have been inestimably encouraged by it. It is really encouraging to reflect that we probably have more highly trained combat vets in the country than at any time since Vietnam. And these guys have excellent experience to go along with the training.

Millenialls are either completely asinine or they are some of the most solid people on earth. Depends on what type you run into.
 
Skinny jeans are way more comfy than they look. I proudly wear them!

You hear a lot of bad things but there are still good kids out there. Heres a story for you;

My Wife recently went to Lowes to get a few things to finish up a kitchen remodel that we did. I ask her to pick up a few 2X4's for me. I told her to pick up a cart to haul them in and explained a little about how to look for straight boards, ect ect. Well, She was standing in front of the 2X4 rack, probably looking confused. A guy wearing a shirt with a construction company logo on the pocket offered to help her. He exchanged the cart that she had for the proper type of cart, and picked through the 2X4's for some good ones. When she checked out she left the cart near the door while going after her car. When she returned the same young man was standing by her cart, loaded the lumber for her and returned her cart to the store. She said that he was about our Sons age.

I would have liked to shake that young mans hand and the hands of his parents!

To me this is the most logical decision to make in that situation. I would ask myself do you want to die cowering or fighting. I would hope my choice would be fighting. But you really never know how you will react till it happens. JMHO

This is true.

A portion, a small portion, has risked greatly and done great things.

Part of me thinks the wars have been drawn out to offer the chance for these good kids to "self select" for greater risk of elimination cutting down that class of people likely to resist the commies.
 
these wars of course have nothing to do with radical islamists who want to rape your wife and kids, sell them into slavery, and cut your throat.

Sure they do.

That's why Congress should declare war.

Start a draft and ended it 17 years ago by going to war with the respect for the sacrifice war call s for.

Nathan Bedford Forrest and Curtis LeMay had it right "Get there firstest with the mostest" and maximum use of force limits the suffering for all.

@pmclaine of course we could have made the middle east the world's largest glass exporter as well, but it would have pissed a lot of folks off. Same with the draft. No one has the balls to do that anymore.

True on all points but something has to be done to make the powers that be understand war isnt just a chance for adventure and profit.

Fighting to win and getting everyone involved will ensure war is the serious decision it should be.

A continuous state of war is corrosive to society even though a tiny fraction is participating. Beyond its effects to the guys actually fighting it filters back into the homeland and the coarseness effects society here - in our politics and daily lives.

Fuck, we are "negotiating" with the Taliban. Why aren't we dictating what they need to do to stop their imminent deaths?

Im looking back on 18 years, the deaths, the material/financial waste, the debt burden on the future, great things done by the military tactically but nothing accomplished strategically. In fact if the strategy was containment of the ideology that brought us to war all I have to do is point out Ilhan Omar and ask hows that working out......we should have just given the Tower families back their boxes of bones and ashes, said sorry, moved on and rebuilt the buildings.

And lack of balls is a common theme these days.

I appreciate the push back.

Fix my train of thought on this because its not my desired way to view this shit.
