GarySpFc: Now, where did you serve?
The assumption behind these two ridiculous questions that, to have an opinion on Russian situation or to speak out against the Puty-Poot junta, one needs to have served in the military or “done something special against communism”, reminded me of a funny invention of the late communist dictator of Bulgaria Todor Zhivkov.
About 50 years ago the Bulgarian communist regime introduced a special civil status of “active militants against fascism and capitalism”. To join the ranks of this quasi-nobility one needed to prove with several witnesses (the party members of high standing) that he did something substantial to end capitalism in the country. The chosen and their families were granted serious privileges.
May be you guys should address the offices you allegedly respect so much with a project of a special corps of “active militants against communism and totalitarianism”. If and when your idea is implemented, we the ordinary folks will shut up.
Till then – tough luck.
