Hopefully he gets the chance now.
I was too young to be conscripted, but I remember the subtle, nightly condemnation of OUR forces by "uncle walter" on see BS.
His propaganda included college campus protest videos.
“menopause destroys women”
Having a wife that is going through menopause right now I can say this is not my experience at all but my wife never took birth control. I think that (birth control) is very hard on a woman. I suppose it could be a factor.
My wife has been he hot flashes but she handles that pretty good.
Our intimacy has not suffered at all. We have been married for 30 years.
My wife is in great health, works out daily, watches her diet closely and still has the figure she had 30 years ago.
I posted this response to offer the other story for the those preparing to enter this stage of their lives.
Back then we got the letter...”Greetings from the President of the United States..”
Videos of college protests against the Vietnam War.
….helped to end the nightmare of a world ruled by a communist dictatorship.

The commies won Vietnam, after rolling into the South hundreds of thousands were killed and jailed. I don’t see that as a win, it emboldened them to expand.
USAF 1971-1974
And now those leftist rioters and anti-American traitors are running our government. Don’t talk to me about “Insurrection” on 1/6. These people have been engaged in sedition against our Constitution and way of life since the 1960’s, slowly working their treason to destroy our constitutional republic. They are the domestic enemies mentioned in our oath of enlistment.
Whenever we flew CONUS commercially, the first thing we’d do when we deplaned was head to the nearest bathroom and get out of our uniforms, and put on civvies.
When I got out in 1974, I almost immediately enrolled in college on the GI Bill. I grew a beard and grew out my hair, as being former military on a college campus in California in those days was not a popular distinction.

I think you are a lucky one.
I was more referring to the years after its completion, but I understand your point.
You were not the only ones — and it was by design.
Perhaps it can give us empathy for the still more unwittingly degenerate youth of today.
I’m a vet and that is not true- not exactly-first of all all appropriations start in the House which Dems have controlled almost 2/3 of the time in the last 90 years and they routinely block any Veterans bills that the GOP nominates. See GOP bill FY2017 a few years, blocked by Dems The measure would have funded veterans benefits and medical care 2.9 billion above and beyond what Dems would allow as well as housing for military families, and construction projects to improve base infrastructure, including schools and medical facilities.
So yeah, its like saying the only grain i get is from Stalin, because that is the only grain allowed. e.g. any legislation that is passed by Dems is Dem legislation, they are just better at politics than pubs -don’t fall the the crumbs Dems give you in the name of their political goal of universal health care and think they are on your side-they are not
“menopause destroys women.”
Maybe that’s a man’s point of view. Speaking for myself, I wouldn’t return to pre-menopause days for anything.
Maybe it depends on the definition of “destroyed”.

I mean it typically doesn’t help one’s body & looks.
Usually weight gain & change in skin appearance.
Ohhh I like the way you think.
It was probably a code pinko activist who harangued AOC the other day.
