Yes, the whole affair ended most bizarrely. I was weirdly wordless.
Then the guy I live with began comparing what was what then and what is what now.
Grossly speaking we who are older were taught manners in all areas of behavior and what we have now...
Is essentially the opposite. Disgusting and nausea filling is to think our 2 heads of household both working away from home with little time to discuss anything with the kids as they grew up. They then ignored the problem of politenss, kindness. etc and nothing has encouraged them to learn it since...anyone of you who think the Teachers Union would not show which male type they had in the classroom...oh mmyy-y-y.
@Canuck Oh shut up, Biden trash.
You are a Biden shill, were given plenty of opportunities to criticize him in the past by me and didn’t, I lined up the opportunities for you to do so and you didn’t. You don’t belong here.
You have to be against both sides doing this or you support it when one side does it, which leads to wars, so you are a war shill then.
And that 3% ratio is vastly different from most modern wars ... how?
I think it’s here too. Good times heh.
Vastly different because 100% of those who fought were VOLUNTEERS. Volunteers who knew they were risking both all they owned AND their lives.
They were not drafted or forced to fight.
And many who signed the Constitution lost all they had and/or their lives.
Name another war where this was the case......
get lost Russian loser
I don’t jump thru your hoops on command
go back to apologizing for your war-criminal Kremlin dwarf
All you stated was that 3% of the pop fought. I replied in the spirit of your assertion, that a small percentage of the POPULATION fought. I noted that it seems common that only a small fraction of the population actually fights in modern wars. That was even true in WW1 and WW2.
You said zero about a volunteer army in your prior post. You introduced volunteering in your follow-up post.
Plus, wasn’t the military a volunteer force that fought in the 2 most recent Mideast conflicts involving Iraq? Surely you’re not saying those military forces in actual in-theater combat were more than 3%. Isn’t 3% of 300 million somewhere around 9 million? I don’t believe we had 9 milion troops fighting in theater in the Middle East at those times
I think Donald Trump needs to promote those positive outcomes in our economy during his 4 years as Presdient EACH and EVERY interview. Keep the conversation on how America has been negatively affected by the current administration. SHOOT, just put up a chart with positives and negatives 2017=2021 and the 2021 - present. People need visual help to grasp the reality of how bad things have gone with Biden and the democrats in charge.
