“Every now and then that thought creeps into my head, but I quickly squash it. I come from generations of service to this country. The country hasn’t failed us, the leadership has. It’s our task to keep the torch lit, and act when the time becomes completely necessary. I fear that time is coming sooner than a lot of us want it to. For now, I will continue to serve the idea of the Founding Fathers and keep the faith until my last breath. There is no place left to run, and no one is going to come to our aid. WE MUST STAY ON WATCH AND BE THE POINT MEN (AND WOMEN) TO LEAD THE OTHERS OUT OF THIS.”
Worth repeating, again and again, until everyone reads or hears it!
I was born in 1948 Bawstin to a liberal mindset/family, public schooled and pretty vacuous when I enlisted at 17 in '65.
They were looking for hamburger but I was still 17 after AIT so I went to Korea.
