Thank you.. I’m sorry if it sounded like I’m bragging, it’s not what I intended. It’s just that I come from that place, where opportunity and the backstreet meet. We had nothing growing up and we always stretching to make ends meet. My dad was off the charts smart. He quit school to support his family and that limited him in life to a degree. He worked three jobs to keep us all going and rarely complained. At the time I couldn’t wait to get out and make a buck. I’m regret it now, but if I had gone to college, I’m not sure the rest of my life would have worked out the same.

Guys like this get my goat for sure.

I hate starting the day pissed off

You and me both, brother.

It's an outrage a day with this White House and the clowns in Congress.

I am still pissed that our Marines were forced to give up their weapons in Yemen.

The propaganda value of pictures of that is enormous in the jihadi world.

Who knows what today will bring?

You did not sound like you were bragging. A college degree or lack thereof was never the criteria by which I judged a man. Accomplishments, responsibilities held, and attitude counted for far more.

And you have them in spades.
