Yes, thick skin is required in many circumstances, but not all FReepers are conditioned to that. After 20 years in the military, I learned that showing weakness will only embolden bullies, idiots and losers.
What I’m getting at here is that there have been other threads and instances during the past few days here on FR where I’ve seen good folks excoriated for even daring to put forth an alternate point of view on the impacts of this shutdown.
For example; at Edwards AFB, the commissary is closed during the shutdown. The military folks living on base, are ~20 miles away from the nearest grocery store, an Albertson’s that charges premium prices on just about everything thanks to the damnable unions. The nearest China “mart” is an additional 15 miles or so down the road. Gas is near $4 a gallon. So the ones impacted most, who can least afford it, are the junior enlisted.
It’s not just civilians who are “raking in the big dough” and on “paid vacay” being impacted here.
This is what I’m talking about...it’s unbecoming.
Folks are throwing hand grenades instead of sniping. Too many collaterals.
Who is doing the sniping now. Why it’s our own Liberal poster. LMAO.
