My dad just passed recently. He served '41-46. Mainly on Okinawa in the Army.
I know he was tired, and tired of seeing the news every day. As a very religious man, he couldn't stand the last few years of gay marriage, Obama, the immigration crisis, etc. I think he felt everything his generation sacrificed for was just given away in the last ten years. This wasn't his dream, what this country has become.

Dad passed in 1999, did his duty (and then some, according to some of his old buddies), fathered three boys who wound up trying to do theirs during ‘Nam but never breathed a word about his dreams.

And I don’t think I’d have dared ask him.

Only dreams I know of right now are ones that I and my brothers have been having and talking about....

Our family’s had people in the military/militia since before the Revolution, and I/we keep dreaming about these stern-faced old soldiers who don’t do much but look and ask, “Why ain’t you up and armed, boy?”

Stuff needs squared away, and posting about it don’t do sh**.
