amazing isn’t it… these people actually are on the verge of supporting Iran, Islam and whatever else is against Trump. If there was a terrorist attack in the name of Iran they’d most likely be apathetic to it.
Add that to supporting “tax the rich”, socialism, higher taxes on their income, more homelessness, more drugs, more illegal immigrants adding to their cost of living.
The saving grace is they most likely live in places that have gone to sh!t compared to normal
parts of the Country. Their cost of living is higher, schools are worse, crime is hig
her, homelessness is worse, and their tax dollars are generally wasted on NGO’s donating back to the political party that has super majority control.
I think it ‘s called Stockholm Syndrome? Watch Karen Bass get re-elected to see the Stockholm in action.

no buck, track the conversation. The crazy loony guy that just posted 69 times in a row spitting partisan vitriol just said that people that dont agree with his position will “cower like weaklings”. Many if these people (myself included) risked our lives in the military already. Can you not see how ridiculous it is to hear something like this from some civilian that never had the courage to serve?
come on man, be better
come on man, be better

But I must say....you trying to call someone out for not serving is tantamount to bragging about serving and expecting special recognition.
BTW....isn't most of this thread partisan vitriol???

Thank you for you and your families service…
my father lied about his age and signed up underage for WWII, his best friend in the military ended up being his brother in law. ( my mother’s brother) I seems that was a pretty common type story from the greatest generation.

BTW... thankful for this specific thread as it allows 1 single thread to be hijacked and people can say things a little more ruff and tumble. As opposed to numerous other threads that invariably get hijacked and head down hill.

I think whether or not someone served gives one a little leeway on an internet message board when challenging an opinion of “just send in the military to ____ and get them to do the thing”. That thing is our brothers and sisters away from their home in harms way. I get it, we all signed up for it. But only a tiny percentage of the country shares in the burden.

No, you be better
"Why I oughta shut you up"
"Yea?... I'll meet you out in the schoolyard later"
"We'll see about that...By God I was on the pointy end of the spear"
I give you all you are due....The same thing the Home Depot/Lowes cashier says to me whilst I get my 10% discount for being a vet...."Thank you for your service"
I hope it swells your breast....I know it doesn't mine
It also doesn't give me any special insight as to "things". Just one man/person...one vote. You have your opinion....others have theirs.
