“only the beginning.”
Where has that spirit gone, America?

That spirit is still here, My FRiend. It was gravely damaged by the age of political correctness, feminism, hate Americanism, White self hatred and I rather be Red than dead ism. But it is still amongst us. As long as we are alive, it will still be here. Hopefully, as we depart, others will pick up the baton.
Don't hang around with the young doolie officer cadets much, do you? Though they can be arrogant in their ignorance, set records for repeating the same mistakes over and over, and blunder to such an extant that it's impossible for their instructors, advisors and observers who cannot help but laugh at them, despite best efforts at keeping a straight face. But I have seen enough sincerity, dedication, and old-fashioned gumption to have formed the impression that the military and country are in better hands on their watch- once they get some rough edges knocked off- than they ever were on my best day.
They may or may not be representative of their generation as a whole; that has always been the case. But I am damned highly impressed with what I've seen and heard, though I do still get a pretty good chuckle at times. Which I TRY to keep down to a grin, honest I do.
