While we live in a time when many Americans will not admit it, I will: I love my country. Through good times and bad, good presidencies and bad, that love has never diminished. One generation of family member after another – from Jacob Zumwalt who served during the American Revolution to my son's 21st century service in Iraq as a bomb technician – attests to this love by voluntarily serving in uniform.
As a veteran who served for over a quarter of a century, I never thought I would say this about a commander in chief, but the terrorist bombing at the Kabul airport that claimed 40 lives, including at least 13 of our brave warriors, leaves me no choice. It is love of country and all those serving to protect her who have needlessly, callously and intentionally been put in harm's way with no rational basis for doing so that forces me now to declare: "Mr. Biden, you are not my president."

Would he direct the same criticism towards Trump? He was eligble, took advantage of student deferements and a somewhat dubious medical exemption, and as president he sent U.S. troops into combat when it was necessary.
There are a lot of criticisms that can be directed at Biden and his performance concerning Afghanistan. They're all justified. But if Zumwalt is going to criticise him for this then he needs to do the same to other past presidents.
Most people don't say "Not my president" from the beginning of a president's term. For them the phrase is weightier and more significant than it is for people who are always saying that about presidents of the other party. If you are Chicken Little, forever saying that the "Sky is falling" nobody will pay attention to you.
I think any young man at the time would have done whatever he could to get out of going to Vietnam.
Obviously it was easier for the wealthy and connected.
Not all folks that were drafted or enlisted were deployed to Viet Nam. Even some that requested duty there were denied. Others volunteered to do multiple tours there.
Stealing a bike does not make me a legit bike owner. No one is screaming the sky is falling (a prediction) when they point out facts (from the past).
And many did. If that upsets Zumwalt or causes him to question a president's qualification to be commander-in-chief then so be it. But that belief will eliminate most of the politicians on both parties from being president.
He’s not my President, either. I have no idea which behind-the-scenes git is the actual acting President.
Is my President Susan Rice? Obama? Ron Klain? Jen Psaki? Hillary Clinton? The ghost of Jeffrey Epstein?
As for Dr. Jill, what I would like to see done to her by a legal authority, following due process, cannot be mentioned here or I would be banned.
Kameltoe wasn’t elected legally either. She aint a natural born citizen.
Notwithstanding the fact that old racist document does not have much standing in many circles these days anyway.....
As bad as Biden is, if he had been elected, he’d be my president. I wouldn’t like it, but that would be a fact. He’s not my president because he wasn’t elected to that office. He was appointed by America’s enemies. President Trump wasn’t sworn in for his second term, so technically he’s not president, either. We currently have no president. President Trump is the closest we have.
......In his memoir, Robert Gates wrote that Biden had “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” ........
That especially includes the Bosnian and Kosovo wars, and the disgusting Serb-hatred displayed by both joe biden and his son beau!!!!
And all of this wrongheadedness has proven itself out in this illegitimate “president’s” Afghanistan debacle, as well as his open borders policy!!!!
Most Holy Trinity, save the United States of America!!!!
The Supreme Court failed our nation. They could have heard the arguments and see the evidence. Arbitrary changes in state laws without the state legislatures deprived the rest of us of our voting rights. An
d the gutless state legislatures also failed the nation.
Barack Obama
Can we get a bumper sticker?
I served with Jim years ago in the Corps. It’s good to see he and I still agree on politics.
Joe Biden is not anyone’s president.
Thanks for your service. Very disheartening to me to see what’s transpired since I got out around 50 years ago. Huh? 50 years? Yikes!
My husband attended Avionics school at Keesler AFB 1967-68 and fully expected to go straight to Vietnam upon graduation because he was one of the senior students.
When we got notification of the command assignment a week or so before the APO number, it was PACAF (Pacific Air Command), which included all of Southeast Asia.
Then when the base assignments came out, my husband called me from school with only the APO number. I went over to Family Services (where I volunteered) to look at the APO chart, and it was Hickam AFB Hawaii.
By the time he finished that 3 year assignment, Vietnam was winding down and he was sent to Florida instead.
I wish that were true — Whatever your feelings are about that imbecile in the WH, he is your president, Harris is your VP and Pelosi is your Speaker. In fact, they are also my clowns as much as I dislike them. Too bad. In America, a stolen election is a valid election.
Well,you have the clown part right.
