“My father, David, served in WWII and in the Korean War. Dad is at peace now and would have been devastated by the events of this past weekend.”
My father, Master Chief Duntno, served in the navy for 27 years, in the Pacific and Korea and in the beginning of “John Kennedy’s War, not mine.” He died in 1986.
He hated Democrats.
This would have been a pretty dark day for him, but I imagine he would have been telling me to use this as a wake up call and stop thinking that there is anything out there that even resembles a “Good Democrat” because they want us to be Commies.
I think this last few days pretty well proves him right, once and for all, so the fighting can begin in earnest any time now, as far as I am concerned.
