There are millions of veterans, many of them combat veterans, many who are noncombat veterans are still quite capable. Very few of them are pleased with this administration. Even old men, or old women for that matter, can be very dangerous if they think they have nothing left to lose. We once had a little old man of around eighty walk into the city-county complex here and stroll right up to a desk and shoot a police officer dead in his chair.
I still remember the DC snipers when so many were saying that they had to be ex-military because of their accuracy. I laughed every time I heard it. My father was never in the military and he could have made any of those shots with ease when he was eighty years old. I could have made any of those shots when I was fourteen. Of course my father and I only shot the eyeballs out of squirrels, we would never have considered shooting an innocent person.
Mom was an ace shot and was on the rifle team in college. Almost got drafted because of the unusual spelling of her name.
You make very good points, especially about when people have nothing to lose.
I believe that if we’re backed into a corner, we’ll have to defend our country and ourselves. OTOH, I doubt the liberal 0ba-mites’ thugs are paid enough to risk a lot.
I just hope that 0b0z0’s agenda is stopped peacefully and that the libs see the danger of trying to subjugate the populace and shove CommuFascism down the throats of their employers, 80% of Americans who don’t agree with them.
To your other points about never knowing who’s capable and who isn’t; I always told kids to respect their elders and never challenge a gray hair because he may whip your a$$, physically. That’s from personal experiences being the gray hair...that was a lot of fun. LOL
