Whether the public is paying attention or not, the job has to be done.

A little momento from my “Army Days”:

We the unwilling,lead by the unknowing,are doing the impossible,for the ungrateful.We have done so much,with so little,for so long,we are now qualified to do anything with nothing!

Granted it’s an “All Volunteer force” now,but nothing’s REALLY changed!

look they’re wearing camo, you can see right through them!

Qual quer que or something like that from my Angolan days

You see? Women fit in perfectly in the military.

Thank you for your service.

Today’s army word speak strip reminds me of the Chris Christie press conference yesterday. Christie basically said, I am not petty and vindictive and if you say that I am, I will, of course, get you for it.

and people vote for Christie. ah, the American voter, tribal as all get out. divide and conquer, idiots, lol

Can’t believe it’s been so long. Pretty soon, the ves will be sending their kids over there…

I may regret saying this, but, I was just over at “Nancy” and noted that Fritzi had on a very tight sweater, and realized we hadn’t heard from calimaghazi in a long time. Even before he might have read the NYT article.

Who cares about apathy

Exactly, anyone who volunteered after the war began, or reenlisted, has only themselves to blame. They may be fighting for freedom, but not for American freedom.

“We the unwilling…” This classic quote was first uttered by Konstantin Josef Jirecek, a Czech historian. Jirecek (1854-1918)

We also said, “What are they gonna do, send me to Vietnam?” Of course, as it turns out, even if you’re in Vietnam, they can send you to Vietnam.

Again (and I could say this every day), waste of time. Bring ’em home.

‘He may have succumbed to the weight of “Flags” of nations.’.Darn that librul media! It’s all part of the coverup!

The President has lost interest in the war too.

If you are able,save for them a placeinside of youand save one backward glancewhen you are leavingfor the places they canno longer go.Be not ashamed to sayyou loved them,though you mayor may not have always.Take what they have taught youwith their dyingand keep it with your own.And in that timewhen men decide and feel safeto call the war insane,take one moment to embracethose gentle heroesyou left behind.
