Tell that to the Marines that just took down a mohammedan murderer on a French train.
Clint.
They weren't actors playing a role.
Clint.
"Teenage twits"??? What a load of crap!
How do you think Obama got elected? The young fainting metro-sexual twits voted for him. Granted they are 4-8 years older, but you get what Clint means.
He didn’t say all. He said a bunch. He’s 100% correct.
He was talking about that whole generation. He wasn’t only talking about the military.
Yes, Eastwood made American Sniper bc he has no respect for the military.
You are playing the leftist parsing/gotcha game. It’s unbecoming.
Although my husband is in the hospital and I haven’t really kept up with the news (don’t know what happened on the French train), I am very sure, even though I’ve never met him, that Clint Eastwood wasn’t saying that Marines are a bunch of teenage twits, NorthMountain.
He’s right, we do have a lot of teenage twits... all we have to do is check out Twitter, etc., for the proof, but they are not those who have signed up for the Marines and who risk their lives for their country.
Wait, now I have perhaps lost the point, was it Clint EAstwood who said this, or Donald Trump? In any case, I am sure neither one of them was calling the Marines a bunch of teenage twits...
He meant the people who give the orders. Not the people that follow them.
Most every Conservative, including Eastwood, recognizes the few among the many that make the ultimate sacrifice. Don’t mistake brash remarks as general indifference.
You’re correct to defend the millions of dedicated, hard working younger adults, but the statistical downward deviation of voluntary dedication among the Country’s youth is a serious problem.
It was a rhetorical statement So relax my man.
From the perspective of nearly 60 I hate to break it to you but white men in America are in general much less masculine....Recon Rangers notwithstanding than I recall in my life.....and God are they ever browbeaten by women....I cannot fathom how so many under 40 men sit like kiddies in the passenger seat while the woman drives....it kills me
My wife drives when I’m near death and not even then all the time....I drove myself first heart surgery and in the snow at 2am.....my dad never sat his 6 foot 5 245 pounds of NY GIANTS draftee in the frigging passenger seat while his quite petite wife drove......for 47 years ...not till he went blind shortly before death
I don’t know if it environmental or conditioning but it’s there trust me...it’s pitiful meanwhile black men are probably 10-15% bigger than the 1960s and even Laotians second generation I see are nearly 6 foot
I travel the U.S. like crazy 150,000 miles a year and it’s an observance I’ve noticed since the early 90s
Statistics show a serious dip in free testosterone level means since WWII most markedly in white men....I’m talking 40% lower mean which is considerable And sperm rates have collapsed the same
All jokes aside I think it’s a serious problem frankly and explains why whites are so docile in the face of being overwhelmed and blamed for basically everything even though in my opinion my white ancestors civilized the world more or less once for better or now....worse
But....I see you’re a feisty sort perusing your posts so you’re likely not a low T youngster
I thought your Kinsey bash about the myth of male bisexuality was spot on
These things can be turned around by a big war
Think about it: We had a whole generation of men and women who had to take part in the war effort.
Today, it is a fraction of the population who has EVER taken part in the war effort. We have 0bama voted in twice, and too many liberals to count.
We obviously have people we know, including those on FR, who understand and support the military.
How can you not be in agreement with what Clint said, when you know how many people, proportionately, do not see the world as FReepers do? Are you so fragile that you took his comment to mean you, or those soldiers on the train, were part of his slam?
Get a brain!
I think he meant the teenage twits running our government.
