“Could be...he would also have to not read the article before posting, post to an article on TV or football and say he doesn’t have a TV or watch football, and reply to an AOC article and criticize the poster for posting an AOC article.”
LOL! Classic Freeping. ;)

I would imagine it is easy to feel lonesome, with most of the people you grew up with long gone. At least he can make his feelings known to both us the public, and to himself.
I wish him the joys of new friendship.

...oh, and he has to complain on a Harry and Meghan thread that they're in the U.K. so who cares....
Thank you.

The Marines were always the branch that recruited the youngest service members, LOL!
My FIL is a Marine and my Nephew (his Grandson) joined the Marines two years ago. You would’ve thought Big John had died and gone to Heaven he was so proud and happy! He’s well into his 80’s now, so I’m glad he got to see at least ONE Grandchild become a Marine. For some reason, while his sons were all toughened Farm Boys, none of them every joined up.
He loves me because even though I’m, ‘Only Army’ he ‘understands’ that it’s ONLY because they weren’t taking women in the Marines back when I served. ;)

Nice post - thanks for sharing.
People like that are the backbone of America.

Probably some truth in that observation.
I was waiting for the recruiter the day I turned 17 and about half my platoon at P.I. was 17!
Underage, oversexed teen age killers!!!.

I joined the Army at 17, too. Had my 18th Birthday in Army Basic Training at Ft. Jackson, SC.
Good Times, LOL!

I miss that girl some days. She’s not as easy to ‘channel’ as she used to be, Forty-One years later, LOL!
