You should give the West Point cadets more credit than you do. They are keenly aware of what is going on in the world and are largely conservative in their political views. They showed discipline because it is expected of them and it is what is ingrained in them during their four years at West Point. Trust me, few are on O’s side on this and his speech went over like turd in a punch bowl.
I have no problem with being corrected .. even chastised .. because of my thoughts or views.
It's just that life in America seems to be so much more complicated and difficult these days.
I just got back from the DMV to provide a BC for my son after he passed his written (He is now a permit holder ... no test for 6 months and 50 hrs documented driving experience)
I had given, by accident, a certificate of birth (I have NO idea why I would even HAVE such a thing .. but I do .. ), and I had to go back and get the BC.
When I returned, I asked for giggles and laughs (They don't, btw), what wouyld happen if you HAD accepted the certificate?
It was like asking Rahm Emmanuel to say radical muslim ... hemmed and hawed all over the place .. federal law, I would never do anything I knew was illegal etc.
I dropped the whole thing
Nothing's changed .. the embeds are still there.
