Served and still serving. I assume you fought with Charlie based on your current position.

Find one post where I supported McCain. You can’t because there are none, unless it was when he ran against Obama. Opposing poison gas and mass murder of civilians is not a unique position for any political bias. It’s common decency.

Perhaps he should wait until it is determined who did what before spouting the isis/al queda message?

...These heinous actions by the Bashar al-Assad regime...

Awful early to be drawing that conclusion. Wonder who determined this.

They’re still not sure it was Assad...Tread carefully Donald.

This event took place right before a UN peace conference in Brussels aimed at ending the violence in Syria, so it makes no sense that Assad would order up a chemical attack on civilians.

More likely, the cult of Islam decided to sacrifice some more civilians in an effort to rid themselves of that secular devil Assad

Elhombrelibre is obsessed/possessed with but one theme .. Putin,Putin,Putin...

The things done in the name of USA since George Bush the first through Brack and his gang, opened the door for Putin types to do what they have always done throughout the annals of history. Elho willingly ignores just how ‘dirty’ our house was and salivates over the prospect of a one on one war with the bear nation... And if one does not take up Elho’s cause then one is deemed a ‘Putin’ lover/follower... Elho was against Trump from the get go, and look how wrong he/she was on that...

You’re ignoring that I oppose all tyranny, including putin, and that Trump is beefing up the USA and has condemned Assad. So you’re must be upset with him, not me.

“Served and still serving. I assume you fought with Charlie based on your current position.”
.
.
.
I doubt you have ever even seen a man in dress blues or greens, you would sh*t yourself, sincerely.

I saw what you ass-hats did. I worked my ass off, more than I ever did in my life. When I got out I worked 84 hour weeks fitting pipes and welding and I tell people that was “nothing” compared to my in country time. It was nothing.

And everyone around me worked our f’ing asses off and we bleed and died.

And you know what? When it was all done, we pulled out. Every damned friend I made, every girl or boy I met, every woman, every VN friend I drank with was left there. Left there to die. Because globalists like you got us all engaged then gave up.

You have never served. You wouldn’t know what a hash bar was, and if you did you are wearing scrambled eggs that you got out of college.

I’m a rider in the summer, me and my people (VFW and Legion and others) we ride from Chicago all across the US. We are old guys, and I see you don’t have a home town, but we will surely stop at your doorstep if you want to have a “vet party”. We love to pat any serviceman on the back, we love to take anyone for a ride with us, young or old.

You might get quite a different opinion than you are used to.

Sorry Jeb, your Taco Bowls ain’t gonna sell here....

(BTW, send me a tell if you want some REAL vets to come take you for a ride... you might get your rocks off and you can tell your friends all about it)

...and me and my brothers who actually DID serve, would NEVER say what you just said... that I “served with Charlie”.... “Charlie” is the name that people like you who watched TV shows and movies still use.

Second, we would never say such a thing because you are guaranteed to lose your teeth.

So, I’ll come give you a ride, and I’m a forgiving type guy, but if you ever said anything like that to my companions, you WILL lose your precious teeth.

Hint to you ... you come across as tyrannical. The twisting of peoples comments to fit your pinhole narrative is borderline.....

So when did you decide you preferred to believe foreign tyrants as your post #16 said? And I’ve worn the uniform and your hyperventilating doesn’t validate post #16.

Not only is St. Petersburg Putin's home town, but the Imperial Capitol for 200 years. Very historical and beautiful city. Clearly the attack at the train station was designed to embarrass Putin. Lukashenko of Bylorussia was there as well.

I had expected Putin to lash out, but not use gas (if he did). Increased bombings of ISIL targets in Syria. Increased military aid to Assad, etc. But not this. And will we ever know precisely who did what?

I’ve no power over anyone, despite the bizarre claims that I’m a globalist. I don’t own a globe, nor do I know anyone in the globalist cabal.

What do you want, my DD 214? What point Vet I am. You’re being silly. You don’t know my biography and I don’t care to tell you it. Your beliefs and values, your support for putin, is your right. You fought for it, so that’s fine. I admire your candor and wish you supported human liberty.

Did Putin destroy Libya, and steal that nation’s gold? What exactly has the US gained in the wars we took on since Ronald Reagan? What we have done is pave the roads for Putin/Russia to take advantage. There were reports back when we went back to Iraq, under George the second, of Russians fleeing Iraq. Did we stop them? AND it was Putin, that was defying the UN resolution of ‘Oil for rotten food’ program with old Saddam... DID George the second make any calls for Russia/Putin to be held to account? There were also reports ‘unofficially’ that Russia took some of Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction into Syria... what did the ‘coalition’ do, or what did the UN do.

Putin is going to do what he can get away with doing, and WE, the US have paved the road for Putin to do what he naturally does. So keep bitching about Putin this and Putin that, but, our ‘house’ is NOT clean.

nope, don’t want your DD 214, I want your unit and year, so I can verify who you are.

Anyone that tells me I’m a “friend of Charlie” needs a good “adjustment”

Screws like you NEVER served, never did time, or you would NEVER say anything like that.

You gave yourself away.

You are a disgrace. You are a worm. You are less than nothing.

A globalist I can understand is motivated by greed, but you, you are less than that.

I would surely love to roll up on you and meet you.

I’m an old man, and you claim to “still be serving” which means you are probably a young man. I would embarrass you in front of your family, and would have no remorse to do so.

I would dress you down, and if I couldn’t do it, I’m sure someone next to me could.

You are not a patriot, you are a McNamara who thinks people like me are here to spill blood for you.

Here’s a clue, we don’t spill blood for YOU we spill blood for America. And I’ll do it again. I have no problem at my age tussling with some ass like yourself, nor do my companions. We’ve done it before, and we have no problem doing it again.

If you say you served again, without giving me a unit and year, I’m going to write you off as a stolen valor traitor.

And since you stated you are “still serving”, I’d like to look that up. See what your platoon, company or battalion thinks of you.

You haven’t indicated your age, and you used the word “Charlie” which is right out of bullshitland hollywood, so if you did, I reckon you are 30 years or younger, and I know PLENTY of CO’s who would love to grab a hold of your ears for what you accused me of “being a friend to Charlie”.

I graduated an E6 in 1969 586 and 80, was in Benning in 65 jump graduate, 86th in early 65, then to 586/20. I was a volunteer. For my country. For France. Do you even know what that means? Do you have any idea why I we were volunteers for our ally France?

We’ve been through what you are talking about. Supporting our allies. We’ve been there, done that. We saw how it worked out. We saw the short attention span of our populace. We saw how America felt about us when we came home.

F U.

F U globalists. Name your unit. Let us pontificate on that.

Otherwise STFU.

You are a stolen valor ass. I see you jackasses all the time when we are on the road. Folks with Vietnam rockers and hats, and I ask them where they were from... All BS... I have a phone, I can look it up.

6/10 of you stolen valor asses are full of crap.

Oh you served and are still serving... gimme your designation then. You should be proud. I am.

And another one, you said you are STILL serving... why would you have a DD? This also tells me you are a liar or drunk posting.

You don’t get a DD until you are DISCHARGED.

Asshat..

I’ve two DD 214s. Still serving does not necessarily mean active duty, Bubba. And how could I steal valor when I haven’t claimed any. You’re just trying to change the subject of the thread and the weird post you made in #16.

Not saying it’s impossible, just illogical.

Concur; pray without ceasing that God will grant President Donald Trump, Vice President Michael Pence, and the entire national security team that exercises lawful authority, wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to discern truth and protect and defend us.

You’re irrational about my service. I cannot steal something I have not claimed. If you cannot figure that out, how can you accept your cognitive superiority on trusting putin over the USA, as you say in your post, #16?
