“We are in an information war and we need to use the correct tools.”

That doesn’t even deserve a participation trophy.

Who knew our state governors were King George III in waiting?

Old left wing student demonstrator saying in the late 60s was "Scratch a liberal and find a fascist."

And thanks to you for this thread. A lot of good comments because of it.

Was at Sea in Tonkin Gulf when Kennedy was assassinated.

Unusual note about that Gulf.... George S. Morrison who was the Doors' Jim Morrison's father was commander of the U.S. naval forces in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Gulf of Tonkin Incident of August 1964, which sparked an escalation of American involvement in the Vietnam War. ---Excerpted from Wikipedia article.

I often wonder how his father felt as he must have heard others say about the Jim Morrison arrests and drunkenness "Hey, that's your son, isn't it?"

The Brits look down their nose at us and disdain Americans behavior sometimes. But privately some of them see us do stuff like that and think “too flippin’right!”

Exactly! It’s not like they cracked open someone’s skull with a bike lock or a concrete “milkshake”.

[gogeo]

I believe that.

[Dr. Pritchett]

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Your time in the military wasn’t good to you.

You can’t see tyranny even when slapped in the face.
