Have to admit it’s weird to see someone I knew way back when named to such an important position. He’ll do a great job.
Congratulations—looks like Trump made a fantastic choice!
As a 29 year old Captain in the first Gulf War he led E Troop Armored into battle when the Iraqi Guard stood its ground and took out 80 tanks without the loss of one of ours. Battle of 73 Easting.
It serves as the most notable tank battle of the modern era.
Then use your pull to have Trump’s next big event down at the Border surrounded by Bulldozers and he yells “Gentlemen start your engines! Let’s build a WALL!” Doesn’t Trump know how to drive one? Thought his Dad taught him. Hell give him a few lessons. That would be way cool.
“The Battle of 73 Easting.”
Guess I better go read up on that.
According to Time Magazine he was awarded the Silver Star in the battle referred to above.
“He gained renown as a cavalry commander, earning a Silver Star in 1991’s Gulf War after his nine tanks wiped out more than 80 Iraqi tanks and other vehicles. His reputation grew after his ...” wrote a book about Viet Nam.

“Well, you can bet it was for something more than what John Kerry was claimed to have done.”
How I would love to come face-to-face with Ensign Band-Aid.

I think most understood your intent. 8>)
Okay, okay, benefit of the doubt. I would still like to see an effective boycott of those despicable leftist scoundrels.
I think even Ivanka can run a D10. Her brothers were raised in them.
I was hoping for Dr. Sebastian Gorka, but this is even better! You can see in his eyes nobody gets away with lying to him.
What does that tell you about LBJ? He was a dope too.
There has been many a blue goose given on that subject at C&GSC over the years, nothing new about that. Know a guy that gave that very brief in 1975.
“earning a Silver Star in 1991’s Gulf War after his nine tanks wiped out more than 80 Iraqi tanks and other vehicles.”
So, then, we should suspect that he has balls.
I think Bolton should be over at State Dept as a T-Rex deputy or something
Hi.
Tank battle long 73 degrees east in Iraq. Brigade v. div size Republican guard.

Your message was understood as well. I personally have stopped purchasing from there.
Let us know the bookseller in which 100% of profits are funneled to conservative causes.
Why not spokesman? He aces that, naturally.
