AMEN—at least he has a pair and calls a spade a spade——after giving over 5 years of my life to fighting WW2 and saving the freaking world (including our own) I have seen greedy, lying politicians promise all and deliver little , if nothing, to the working man—plenty of giveaways for some, wealth for the crooks and those who give big bucks to re-election funds but little for those of us who earned it and paid to keep our country free—at least Trump knows how to run a business and can’t do any worse than what we have now—I will soon be gone, 93, but my 40 grandkids and greats will be here and have to live in this new America

Thanks for a great post from a real patriot and true American.

And thanks for all you have done for America.

Hope we can save it so the sacrifice of you and others who fought for the nation are not thrown away to fulfill the fantasies of liberals and other America haters.

My father is a WWII vet. At 19 he was packing an M1 pursuing Fascists across Germany, Belgium, CZ. He saw Dachau not long after liberated.

He recently turned 90, every day we talk about this crap. He still has the fire in the belly and he is still a good shot.

He and I both swear at the TV when I visit him and the news is on. He works with me most days.

God Bless the U.S. in spite of DC.

Thank you for your service to our country, Old One. I pray we can yet save it.

...giving over 5 years of my life to fighting WW2

I salute you, young man!  Proud that you are part of this FReeper community.  My Dad was gunner's mate on an LST at the battle of Normandy and Okinawa.

And if he was living today I don't think he'd understand what's happened to his beloved country.

A different kind of "fight" is upon us, but reading your comments motivates me.  Thank you.
