If you or your son think the Norks should be taken out so that he can make big bucks in California and you can defend every America-hating liberal lefty in California or anywhere else, then I vote for you two to shoulder a rifle and go there to make that happen. As a free, independent citizen I vote to let you two have at it, but I also vote that you get to take only those others who agree with you so that the only blood spilled is that of those of you who are of like mind.
I have lived my long life to see this country embroiled in a constant state of war in Indochina, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Africa, and everywhere else in between for over 50 years. We now have had two wars going on in Iraq and Afghanistan for over 16 freaking years, with no end in sight. I am in the growing group of Americans, who actually were the ones who elected Trump, who want this country extricated from never-ending warfare caused by totalitarian, militaristic policies that is destroying what is left of the freedom and liberty we used to have in the late, great USA. We do not need bloody minded warmongers egging on yet more wars.
You really have some issues, Sport. Though some will post comments here like “California should fall into the sea,” most are merely expressing frustration and are not actually serious about expendability...You seem serious and if so, you really are thinking like a progressive of the George Bernard Shaw wing of progressivism.
You put words in my mouth...I am not a war monger and never said US troops should be sent to North Korea to take out Norks so my son can make big bucks...Envy much? Maybe instead of Mayflower (and DAR) lineage as the expendability parameter, we should look at taxes paid...son pays a lot in taxes...a lot.
Just like my last post, I am very glad there is a Constitution so you don’t get to vote on my life with your progressive eugenic tendencies. To say “I also vote that you get to take only those others who agree with you...” indicates that you have the same thinking as the left, Sport, and you seem full of contempt for anyone who disagrees with you as you have now expanded your comments that not only my son and I should tote rifles, but now we are to take anyone who agrees with me, etc.——we are expendable, thinking just like the leftist groups. So glad you don’t get to choose because your thinking is scary.
I will say that unlike all your mentioned war theaters where the USA was not under direct threat of missile attack (I am excluding Cuba as it was over 50 years ago) as I pointed out, Drudge and FR had articles yesterday and even today about Norks, Iran, Russia working on ICBMs to aim at US. Norks actually have them. Someone/something is going to have to stop them before they Nuke us...reports indicate these missiles may be able to go a lot farther than your expendable San Fran, maybe they will hit an area of the country that YOU care about and YOU feel deserves defending...
Again, I don’t know what you think is the purpose of our military if it is not to defend the country~the entire country—not just the parts you like. I will agree with you that the non-stop wars since WWII in which we have been involved have had little to do with defending USA. You even participated in one... However, in this day and age, ignoring the threat of nuclear Norks, Iranians, etc. like we have for past decades has not served us well. Clinton aided and abetted Norks. George Bush should have a done something about all of it and didn’t. Obama aided and abetted Iran and was useless in any war efforts. So now the grownups need to deal with this and other ignored problems as they are coming to a head.
So you are special...
You are “in the growing group of Americans, who actually were the ones who elected Trump, who want this country extricated from never-ending warfare caused by totalitarian, militaristic policies that is destroying what is left of the freedom and liberty we used to have in the late, great USA.”
Hey Sport, I don’t want the country in never-ending warfare caused by totalitarian militaristic policies. However, since President Trump’s election, the Norks, Iranians, and Russians have ramped up their efforts, so even our President realizes something will have to be done...and that something probably will have to do with China strong-arming the Norks to stop, etc. Not troops on the ground.
Oh, and BTW, I am special too...I supported Trump—even before he announced as I was following him hoping he would throw his hat in the ring. So I, too, voted for President Trump. Oh and I gave him money and went to his rallies—before you were even a member here.
So there...
