“Which of his kids are signing up to go?”
Which one of yours was drafted??
I think when someone volunteers for the military that is their business and not yours.
Well said.
Thank you.
My two oldest sons were scheduled to ship out for basic on Oct. 23 but the Staff Sargent called them last week and told them it has been moved up to the 9th of Oct.
I suspect some things will be ramping up. I wasn’t surprised.
Ah yes, the nice little escape clause of our 99% sacrifice free never-ending wars. Only 1% serve, and it all goes on the national credit card, so it can go on and on and in....
The point being made was that the Trump family (like the Bushes, Obamas, Clintons etc.) have no skin in the game when they send others off to risk their lives and die. That makes it more likely we get into nonsense causes like neocon nation-building where victory can never be obtained.
Oh, and my kid’s contracting for four years. Although I’m proud of him, I’m disgusted with leaders who treat our armed forces like some global Hessian merc army that dies for people who hate us and are too cowardly to defend their own interests (e.g. Saudi “royal” family).
