What a stupid schmuck. When Rob (and I) were of the age to do so, nothing was going on in the world. We would have spent 4 years in Oklahoma or Ft. Riley. I didn’t want to run around with M-16’s with muzzle caps for blanks.
Instead, I spent 30 years as a cop and served that way. Rob went another direction. This Leftist? What has he ever done?
Nothing going on...
The United States Coast Guard has patrolled coastal and inland waterways continuously, for defense, policing, and rescue.
We've had active overflight surveillance missions since WW2.
We have an active military engagement between South and North Korea since the 1950s.
We've had nuclear missile silos staffed and at the ready since the beginning of the Cold War.
Rob Schneider was born in 1963. Lebanon was 1982-83. Grenada was 1983. Honduras was 1983-1989.
The 1980s was a very high speed time for American military service and mercenary work, it took some will power, or something, for someone to resist the urge to serve during those years.
I agree. I am 59 and served when nothing was going on but a recession. I was one of 2 ROTC cadets to get active duty with 200 applicants. Iraq was in the future. Got injured surfing and they got me out fast. Only non scholarship soldier in the program. Hit Air Assault Scholl tho. Pretty fun.
For quite a long time, Schneider has been something of a darling for the Right and an opponent of “Wokeism”, etc etc. all the predictable stances....he’s spoken publicly about it numerous times, never with much originality. He is obviously very inconsistent and non-doctrinaire, of course, but this draft thing is seemingly ripped from the Israeli playbook, and he embraces it bc he’s trying to lamely make the point that WE should get ready for the Final Showdown....this is Pure Netanyahu. So I don’t know where anybody on this thread can call him a “Leftist” None of them I know or know of would support anything like a draft or an urging for voluntary conscription to fight “the Enemy”
“This Leftist? What has he ever done?”
He’s f$#@d with the Vipers and an interior decorator who killed 16 Czechoslovakians.
