That is a nice photo - thanks for posting it. I”m proud of the DFW area - looks like they came out to support our country and those who serve.
It sounds like a good send off. I couldn’t ever read the tweets and such, I started to cry. May he RIP.
I am so glad the SEAL who killed Bin Laden has spoken up. That makes me angry. 0 uses it to get reelected and the guys who did the mission are suffering. Pathetic.
That was a fine send off for a hero-I’m proud of my state for never forgetting what our soldiers do.
I am, however appalled by a government that uses them to do the dirty work then tries to forget they exist.
There was a Star Trek NG episode I watched again a couple weeks ago on BBCA about a planet run by rich elites that got people to enlist in the military by playing on their patriotism, trained them to be stone cold warriors, then rewarded them with a home in a colony that was pretty much a gulag-they couldn’t leave and live around their “betters” any more.
When the prime minister of the planet was asked by Picard why they didn’t re-integrate their veterans into the general society, he was told that the other people didn’t want them there-and besides, what if they needed them to fight a war for everyone else again? I see the chilling similarity...
