“I find myself asking just what the hell was the point of serving this country? Why the hell did we bother?”

Every now and then that thought creeps into my head, but I quickly squash it. I come from generations of service to this country. The country hasn’t failed us, the leadership has. It’s our task to keep the torch lit, and act when the time becomes completely necessary. I fear that time is coming sooner than a lot of us want it to. For now, I will continue to serve the idea of the Founding Fathers and keep the faith until my last breath. There is no place left to run, and no one is going to come to our aid. WE MUST STAY ON WATCH AND BE THE POINT MEN (AND WOMEN) TO LEAD THE OTHERS OUT OF THIS.

Make no mistake, I fully understand and agree where you are coming from. That doesn’t mean that my thoughts don’t go to “WTF” and “Why” at times.

Worth repeating, again and again, until everyone reads or hears it!

Of course the country has failed us; it changed generations, produced, and chose the leadership. It corrupted itself and rejected God and its founding constitution for modern idols.

I also came from generations of service and it was my privilege to serve. “We bothered” because it was our duty and we became (or remained) faithful. USAF 1981-85
