What is wrong with this picture? What kind of people are we when we celebrate sleaze and ignore honor and valor ?

That’s a Marine in the top right picture. Marines don’t attend West Point, the Army does.
Group A :
Group B :
Group A : They are the true sons and daughters of America , they serve us in the United States Armed Forces . They risk their lives and limbs , defending us and our freedoms at home , and they defend the weak and the defenseless in dangerous places all across the world . They are paid little and often suffer greatly for their service . Some never come home , their final resting place ; a green field full of white crosses . We pay them very little compared to what they do for us , and lately politicians in Washington have thought it is a good idea to cut their veterans benefits and coverages , which our nation has promised them when they volunteered .
Group B : These are the highly overpaid , utterly spoiled children that the entertainment media industry has propelled into international fame and notoriety . Evolving from sweet little kids into hedonistic nasty little monsters of decadence ,setting the worst of role models for the impressionable teen and pre-teen youth . Their every move and drama is carried by the media . They live in mansions and drive the most expensive of cars , even when they are not old enough to vote or legally drink . When they err , law enforcement winks , accepts their bail fines and lets them go on their merry way . If criticized they loudly claim their rights to freedom of expression . In return we get questionable and often explicit musical performances or sleazy videos .
What is wrong with this picture? What kind of people are we when we celebrate sleaze and ignore honor and valor ? When was the last time returning young warriors were frantically cheered or mobbed by avid paparazzi ? How can we shower vast untold fortunes upon the Group B types , while leaving the Group A heroes to face hard challenges financially , when they are in the Service and when they get out ? Are we not casting our most precious pearls to swine ? I say we are . This has got to STOP ! No more wealth showered upon the undeserving , while our hard working warriors suffer . Its insane . Pay our heroes WELL and treat them with the celebration and honor they deserve .Keep their hard earned benefits as veterans in tact and untouchable . They have earned them , and we owe them at least that much . As for Group B , treat them for what they are ; entertainers , not heroes . Serving themselves , not the nation .

Thank God that Dustbin Bieber is a Canadian.
I hope he is convicted, sentenced to the maximum possible, then deported back to the Great White North and placed on both the ENTRY DENIED and the DO NOT FLY lists.
I think I will need a place ‘practice ‘ image pasting ....
You can practice using the preview button. Just be careful not to hit the post button right next to it.
You're welcome, Leo. Posting pics is just one of the basic tricks you can learn on that thread. There are a bunch of others that are easy to learn, but can be of real value.
Really?? A friggin’ West Point Ringknocker??? To this old Marine he appears to be an up-and-coming Fire Team Leader.
I got educated in public schools...you, not so much.
Cheers!
that quote has to be over twenty years old....
One wonders what the mane would have to add to it today.
