Oooooh, alright. I’ll try.
There is something worth mentioning, though. A good ol’ boy from TX told us a few years ago to avoid believing everything we see or hear from the media during these years.
Although many who weren’t mentored by such men tend to have some sort of emotional block against listening to them and seeing their wisdom, he was certainly right. Such men also had a decency and civility about them when referring to political opposition. I don’t see such dignified behavior now and don’t see any good ones behind political speech. We lose that, and we’ve lost some of the essence of what it is to be Americans like our forefathers.
I’m on our side. It appears that not many others are. There’s no real respect in political and business society for men who’ve served outside of offices and shops. Even many who claim to have served are begrudging and lack proper bearing.
There was a great and true Naval officer using FR a few years ago. He said that he feared that our nation has no will to fight (referring to non-military people, of course). He was right. He also gave some good personal advice about the future—advice that only Americans like the greater ones of our past could follow.
