I know you don’t know me. I know you don’t even think about me and when you do, it’s probably not anything nice. I’m the evil hegemonically masculine patriarchal oppressor to you feminists. I’m the jackbooted statist thug to you dope smokin’ long-haired hippies. I’m “The Man” to you racial activists. I’m the idiot who joined the military because I “wasn’t smart enough” to go get a liberal arts degree like you know-it-all 20-year-old college ****s; and for some reason you hate me for that. I’m that guy with the rifle who signed on the dotted line for $24K a year so that you budding Marxist ****sticks could have the freedom to complain about me and the manner in which I provide it. I have a little message for you.
I see you there, in Portland… In Chicago… In San Francisco… In Bum**** Directional School Liberal Arts College… You’re having your temper tantrums because ever since mommy dropped you off at Daycare 20 years ago you’ve been throwing them to get your way. Now you’re super pissed about the results of a presidential election where the other guy (and the only guy in the race for that matter) won.
I’m not here to talk politics, or explain the Electoral College, or to tell you what hypocritical douchebags you are for doing the things you’re doing. No. I have a much simpler conversation to have with you. See, I read what you post on Twitter, Facebook, and your various internet blogs. I see you on the news breaking things, setting fires, and assaulting people of the opposite political belief. I see you there with your fat ugly unshaven feminist women and black power slogan screaming race baiters, throwing rocks and bottles at the lines of police officers trying to keep order in your own cities. I know your rhetoric. I know all your identity politics stems from the Marxist activists and 'intellectuals' who have pushed the American left farther left than ever before. I know you believe your “progressive” views are the supreme moral authority on every single issue and somehow this perception allows you to justify your totalitarian social views and hypocritical violent outbursts. You profess to hate half this country for their alleged bigotry while carrying signs that say "Love Wins!"
I also know you’re a coward.
I know this because you keep screaming, and blogging, and protesting, and even rioting… but you won’t start this “uprising” you keep going on and on about. If you really believe that your cause is just, that the majority supports you, and that the United States needs to be overthrown to make way for your Progressive social utopia of sunshine and free ****… pick up a gun and start your revolution like every other communist group in history. See, I come from an organization that spent the better part of the last century training to fight a bunch of little commie heathens, and I have a pretty healthy respect for any Ivan who was willing to pick up an AK47 and parachute onto the continent ready to overthrow the USA. That takes some guts. You’re not like him though. You’re quite different actually. Ivan was in shape. You’re a bunch of ‘fat acceptance’ advocates who complain airline seats are too small for your 9,000 calories per day diet. Ivan was a proud masculine man. You have drag queens and fat feminist women with green hair. Ivan grew up mining coal and hunting wolves in the Urals. You want socialism because you’re upset that you can’t get a 6-figure job at age 24 with the bull**** arts degree you spent all that loan money on and haven’t done a day of physical labor in your life. Ivan was a veteran of Stalingrad, Afghanistan, and a dozen bush wars. You think “Call of Duty” is too violent and sexist. Ivan packed an AK47 and knew how to use it. Those among you leftists now who even have weapons ditch them after you rob the liquor store or 7/11 and go hide out at your aunt’s Section 8 housing. You don’t have the discipline Ivan did, at least he used the sights. Ivan killed jihadists by the thousands. You make excuses for them and want to invite them into our country.
You all have your reasons for hating America and whether or not I agree isn’t even relevant. I took an oath as did all of my brothers and sisters in uniform to defend this country against all enemies foreign AND domestic. I will always protect your rights to free speech and expression through lawful and civil protest whether or not your cause is something I believe in. However, you seem to believe revolution and violence are the answer now, and that makes you a domestic enemy of the United States I protect and serve. Do it and I’ll teach you how we make the ****in’ green grass grow. You keep saying you want a revolution, secession, a new Civil War and the election of “Racist/sexist/homophobic/Republican/Nazi/xenophobic/dictator/Islamophobic/rich guy asshole” Donald Trump is the catalyst for you to take action and destroy every evil you perceive this country to stand for…
Well… We’re waiting. **** or get off the pot.

Iron Mike is showing the little pukes a lot more civility and respect than I would.
22 years since I earned my wings. 21 since I earned my blue cord at Mother Benning’s School for Wayward Boys.
I believe that Lenin referred to such people as "useful idiots." Boy, are they going to be surprised, that is if we don't save them from themselves.
Ditto for us Combat Engineers!
(AKA Infantryman with a shovel...)
LOL, as a butterbar in 76, I made the princely sum of $666 per month. After taxes, car payment and car insurance, I think I had $300 to live on the rest of the month.
One of my "extra duties" was ARF Commander (Augmentation Reserve Force) of a 40 man unit that supported a nearby Nike-Hercules battery. During nuclear surety inspections, we were always called on for a simulated terrorist attack.
We had 4 hours to respond with 40 soldiers and two towed Vulcans. When we arrived we issued live ammo to everyone, and the Vulcans were loaded to the breech. For most, it was the first time they played infantry since Basic.
Fortunately, I had 4 years of small unit tactics in ROTC, our program has always been one of the best in the country. In the 6-7 times I ran an ARF, we never had any accidents.
As you might expect, NSIs were taken very seriously. At the outbriefing, the entire chain of command was there, to include the Deputy CG of 32nd AADCOM. He made my day when the Team Chief made a comment about my ARF not responding quickly enough. First time I'd ever been criticized for beating a mission time by 30 minutes. I wasn't going to take my troops over there unprepared.
When the team left, BG Archie Cannon starts his comments by pointing his finger at me, and said "LT, I'll take that hit for you. Anytime you want to give your soldiers extra training, you have my permission." All's well that ends well.
You are right about them cultivating Islam, and it would be to do their fighting for them, then abandon them like they did the blacks.
I had my head up me butt but the one I had wasn’t on any property rolls. I should have mailed it home in pieces. It had a selector switch and the 1st Cav Sniper School had reworked the trigger, lock time, and glass bedded the stock. It was a sweetheart.
When I joined the army, I had a couple of years of college but no degree. I was an army brat as my old man was a retired master sergeant, but I had no clear plan about the MOS I wanted.
I took the ASVAB and did well enough that they invited me back for another test. This was the strangest test I’ve ever taken.
It was a test with just me one-on-one with the tester. He had a cassette tape player and I had a test booklet and an answer sheet.
Each section of the test consisted of me reading about incomprehensible, gobbledegook sounds and what they mean. Then the tester played these same gobbletigook sounds on the tape player combined in sentences, and then I had to mark on my answer sheet the meaning of the sentences.
I had no idea the aim of this test, but it became clear later when the army offered me an intelligence MOS with language training.
I jumped at that and after basic training I found myself at the Presidio of Monterey for 52 weeks of Russian language training. Nothing but Russian, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
The Presidio was a posh posting, and I’ll always remember it as one of the best years of my life.
But alas, in my time in Germany I was a chairborne ranger in the intelligence corps - no infantry experience of any kind.
But I still managed to qualify Expert with rifle and grenade!
Good read. Could have been written by a everal men and one woman in my immediate family.
Thanks for posting.
Please refrain in the future.
Me too, and I’m a girl. :-)
As you say. Sometimes, authenticity is necessary to carry the full weight of passion and meaning.
Thanks, friend. It really needs a bit of an update, but it’s no less relevant today.
LOL! Great comeback. I don’t care who ya’are, that right there’s funny.
