“We haven’t got the country we had when I was raised, not at all,”

Plenty of us vets are sick at heart over the same thing.

Yes, we are.

My WW II veteran Dad would also be 104 (1918) and I feel the same as you. He would be sick at heart to see his beloved country in this shape.

This WWII hero is 100. He has a mind both to remember his service in the 1940s, and to know what is going on now.

biden is only 79, and doesn’t know which way is up. Nor can he find his way into the White House without assistance. Yet he is the President!!!!

Help!!!!

I've said this here before but it has to be pointed out that it was the children of the "greatest generation" that ran the proverbial train off the tracks.

If GI Joe and Rosie the Riveter had put the effort into child-rearing that they did in fighting the Axis powers, our collapse may have been slowed somewhat.

Now we're left with trying to put the whole thing back together.

We lost the peace because guys like this marine voted for democrats for years while democrats paved the way for today’s society.

He is directly responsible for the state of society yet I bet he adamently thinks he had no part in its making and his crying is enough proof of that.

If they had their way at the time, they wouldn’t have fought at all, it wasn’t till the Japanese attacked at Pearl Harbor that finally got the U.S. into the war. Otherwise if neither Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan had bothered them, they would have let the rest of the world burn.

Unfortunately, he is right on the money. So called liberals have changed so much, becoming radical socialists. If John F. Kennedy a liberal, who I thought was a fairly decent guy would show up today, they would run him out of town in a heartbeat.

Robert Welch Jr was right.

The founder of the John Birch Society?

To which of his thousands of statements are you referring?

Stalin would have stopped Hitler, with both of them burning themselves out by the end.

Pat Buchanan said as much.

The one on top is the Silver Star. The man is a bone fide hero.

Awarded for valor in combat against the enemy.
