Obama wants it to be mandatory in the Olympics.
I loathe him so much.
FUBO
Even the churches do not enjoy this kind of loyalty. So when the mainline Protestant churches go gay, religious people leave. But when the military does the same, patriotic people stand by loyally. I don't say that's wrong, but I have to compliment those who came up with what appears to be a winning strategy.
Indeed. I could never serve under such deviancy-promoting, evil leadership as we now have.
So if you don’t support the military, what happens to the people who are standing to defend you? What does it mean to withdraw your support? Are they to endure even more lonely hardship and be denied even more funding because there is an aberration in the White House? If we won’t support our military, who is going to defend us civilians?
Obama is not forever. One way or another, someday things will change. There are a variety of possible scenarios, but meanwhile, withdrawing support for those brave and incredibly disciplined people who are sacrificing for the ideal of America is as counter-productive as it is short-sighted.
Filthy, disgusting and a few words unprintable.
I am so glad I am no longer in the Air Force. I have told my children that they will join the military over my cold dead body. I explained in graphic detail exactly what is going on and why they should never ever think that a tour in the military is an option in their life.
I never could have imagined what our country would come to. My husband was in the Air Force. He is disgusted as well.
if this is what diversity means , give me bigotry any day
Enough already ! Sick F’s
Very Sad. I served at this base, 14 years active and 10 as a contractor.
Thank you for your father’s service. He may not be not be around physically, but he’ll always be in your heart and you know what he did and the honor he put his life on the line for.
Last I saw the statistic, over 2,400 men from WWII were dying every day but I looked it up and in 2012 it is around 600 a day. Maybe there just aren’t that many left. I would hope that they passed on what they did to their families. My father only talked about the actual fighting in WWII mentioning only three incidents. But he loved to talk about leave and the girls he met. I think most vets don’t like to talk about what they saw and based on what my dad described, I can understand why. Plus they don’t want to sound like they’re bragging.
You pray as well for all your loved ones and yourself and the future of this country. Men will always let us down but God, never; people just need to understand that time for him is probably incomprehensible for us.
Have a great weekend.
My son just returned from his third tour in Afghanistan. This time he was in HQ and found that they had Officers bunking with their same sex subordinates and nobody did anything about it. He is staying in the Reserves..he just has too much time in to give up.
Are you sure -- almost 900,000/year?
I’ve been thinking about getting a bumper sticker made:
PUTIN 2016
Or maybe just “Vlad 4 16” and let people figure it out...
Never would I have imagined I would prefer Putin over an American president, but I do.
Why would they do any show of any kind on that base? Anyone who wanted to can see dozens of drag shows within a few minutes from there. Hollywood Blvd is always ready when they are. Plus tons of all kinds of entertainment is close. On many air bases one would have to drive 15 to 20 minutes just to reach the main gate. This does look like an in your face to those of us who find it disgusting.
I saw the writing on the wall in July 2008 and requested a retirement date of 19 Jan 2009 because I didn’t want to serve for one single day with that as my CinC. When they made me stay until 31 May, I refused a retirement ceremony and any cheesy certificates. Was just glad to go.
Thank you so much, Lx. Your comments about your father talking about the girls he met on leave, has me smiling. My father liked to talk about the all the French women he and his buddies met after Normandy, but never Normandy itself, (of course). He talked about the wonderful food and never-ending welcome they were given, wherever they went, by women of all ages, shapes and sizes, and old men too, for that matter. He liked France, but never again left the USA.
At 600 a day, those men will soon be gone from this earthly life. God bless them all.
Thanks very much for replying to me. God bless and keep you and everyone you love. We won’t stop praying. We know He listens to our prayers.
It has been degenerated by design. A nation of We The People sovereignty, having a powerful, honorable military, stands in the way of the globalist world order. That power had to be annihilated, and it has been. Regardless of the weaponry, an Army, Navy, or Air Force is only so powerful as the honor of the personnel. Our personnel is turning into faggotry, by design.
I agree it is by design.
Still 219,000 a year.
Q: How many World War II veterans are alive today?
A: According to statistics released by the Veteran’s Administration, our World War II vets are dying at a rate of just over 600 a day. This means there are approximately only 1.2 million veterans remaining of the 16 million who served our nation in World War II.
Almost a million a year seems way out there as there were only 16.1 million total; maybe I remember it wrong.
