Interesting picture.
I realize that as a 3 Star she has plenty of subordinates to do the ‘heavy lifting’ BUT take away the newspaper and ‘awards’ and her ‘work area’ looks very similar to BO’s.

Maybe she is Qualified. Maybe she is Over-Qualified, but we see 2 things that make her ‘newish’ if she is the tri-fecta, we have reached a new low.

I have already told my daughter that she can depend on me to do absolutely NOTHING to encourage her sons to join the Military, I am not yet to the point of discouraging them but on a daily basis I am getting closer to realizing why some people during ‘my era’ (Vietnam) were sending their sons to Canada or at least discouraging them from joining, but with the Draft they had to take ‘other’ actions.
I am sure the Fathers and Grandfathers of the time had reasons (at least in their minds) to not want their kin to go to SE Asia but I definitely don’t want anyone ‘associated’ with me being stuck in a hell hole like we keep getting ourselves involved in.

I never thought I would feel this way.
Of course when my Grandfather retired after 50(or so) years of carrying mail, - He, being a ‘good Irish Catholic’ in upstate NY, of the D persuasion, REFUSED to accept his certificate signed by Ike - I couldn’t understand it.

Funny, I have the exact same thought when having to accept anything from WJC or BO......

Now, even though I had 2 Uncles, 5 Aunts and 3 older cousins, I was the first R in the family and probably one of the VERY FEW Irish Catholics that had no use for the Politician, JFK and I was the wisened age of 21 for his first election.
