This is not an offhand comment to solicit laughs or response, just a fact.
I have served and bled for this nation, and would die for it tomorrow if called, but what has become sop for the basturds on the left has left me with a seething rage that would be hard to control if I came in contact with those who desecrate the flag, hurl insults at the troops, etc.
If push came to shove, literally, I would respond with what would more than likely be excessive force, repeatedly.
My thoughts and prayers go with those that can attend. I appreciate their taking the fight to the enemy and making those that would do the troops harm understand that they do not control the field. I hope that the nation will wake up and turn itself around and recognize these shts for what they are. I do not think this will happen, at least not in my life time.
There may come the day when my training and skills will be needed again, and this time it will not be in some hell hole of a country on the other side of the world, but here at home, and that makes my heart hurt more than words can convey.
Thank God for freepers that are good and peaceful, for they can do the job that I can not.
FWIW, I feel the same way. But I can temper my emotions, as can you, because we are professionals.
We were trained in the art of war, not the science of diplomacy.
We will never be tapped for the diplomatic corps, nor will we ever be protocol officer.
We are not pretty, but we are dependable and trustworthy.
We have had the very best training in the world, by other professionals, who taught us that to lose your head in battle is to lose your life.
To lose your cool in debate, is to lose the argument.
The last two Fridays, I have been privileged to associate with the group standing the line on the east side of Georgia Ave.
In those two instances, I have not heard the Code Pinkos degrade or diminish the servicemen and women in Walter Reed.
They will not do that in front of us.
Their strategy is to appear sincere, just like it tells them to do in Marx's book.
They lie on paper.
Just like Marx instructed.
They use the veil of sincerity to mask their hatred of our military, and especially our C-in-C.
It is their treachery, and deceit we must overcome.
It is OUR prescence, OUR visibilty, which caused the change in the signs and resulted in the propaganda which Mr Silverback posted here and the leaflet which was distributed last Friday night.
Your prescence, your visibility on the line with us, will strengthen our cause, and weaken theirs.
The soldiers, sailors, airmen and my Brother Marines healing and working in that building across the street know we are sincere.
They also know code pink is NOT.
I will promise you this, if you change your mind: You have my permission to yell, holler, scream, rant, whatever, AT ME.
I will keep you out of jail, and if not, I'll go your bail.
Whaddayasay, Bra?
Join an old Marine, we'll have some fun, laugh at the lefty's, and give comfort to healing comrades.
What the hell else we gonna do?
and I'll bring the Mist.
