Especially coming from somebody who didn't serve.
There was another guy that avoided the draft, held a high office and liked to take potshots at veterans.
Suckers and Losers, but he hugs the flag so all is forgiven, true patriot that one, doing the Lords work
I can't believe the so-called patriots supported him after he said our POWs weren't heroes. From a guy who did everything he could to not serve his country.
Absolutely, just link their quotes saying POWs aren't heroes and I'll edit my post. TIA.
Good stuff.
And it took about 100 years for that change to be mostly accepted....Good stuff.
I mean....look how white people reacted to the ridiculous idea of letting black people out of slavery, for crying out loud. Change is hard. White people don't do well with it in our country.
Well, unless you were a black person in the south and wanted to eat at a restaurant counter, ride in the front of a bus, drink water out of a fountain or go to a school with white kids but other than that, yeah, we came a long way in 100 years! Sort of.....
It’s a wonderful comparison but there’s just one little problem with it.
Ted Nugent is another guy who drapes himself in the flag yet did his best to squirm his way out of military service.
And was rapey with underage girls but once again it’s the libs keeping kids in a pizza joint basement we have to be outraged with
Good to see the general put his country over politics.Don't Toews Me said:
Obama's maternal grandfather served in the US Army in WWII, and his paternal grandfather served in the British Colonial Forces in WWI.
But neither Barack nor Bill, served, right?
Did you not read the original post that you responded to, which mentioned that neither of Trump's grandparents served their country, after which you said "Now do barack obama and bill clinton!!!"?
The larger point is the amount of pathetic reaching that needs to be done to justify the Trump hate.
Agreed. Pointing out that Trump's dad and grandfather didn't serve is pointless. But in response, maybe you should write that it's pointless instead of "now do Obama" and then get upset when someone does exactly as you asked?The larger point is the amount of pathetic reaching that needs to be done to justify the Trump hate.
Liberal #1: "Did you know that Donald Trump's great great great great great great great great Grandfather wasn't at the signing of the Magna Carta?"
Liberal #2: "Oh my. That just shows you how despicable he is!"
No reaching is needed. We just need to read his posts and listen to his words.The larger point is the amount of pathetic reaching that needs to be done to justify the Trump hate.

You are calling us pathetic for providing an answer in response to your specific request?
Should have kept reading. All good.Fair point. I'll remember that next time BEFORE I post knee-jerk a response.
Yep. The Airforce was tweeting about diversity roughly an hour before the blasts in Kabul.
This is a fantastically stupid meme unbefitting of your intelligence and usual thoughtfulness. People are capable of thinking critically about multiple topics, something you know quite well. People shouldn't spend 24x7 thinking about "their actual job", something you know quite well. There is literally no downside to me thinking rationally and concluding, for example, "police frequently and unfairly target minorities", and such thoughts don't impact my job performance in any way.
The news media and the entertainment industry. But I don't have a front row seat for those two.
People can think about all sorts of random stuff while they're doing their morning workout, taking a coffee break, enjoying lunch, or whatever. Obviously you're right that that sort of thing is costless.
While true, if you underperform at your primary task at hand, people have a right to question how you're spending your time.
I disagree. Part of any job, or institution, includes such functions as recruiting, public messaging, or, in this particular case, responding to bat#### crazy Republican legislators. Diversity is a reasonable goal. Diversity can be increased through public messaging. Diversity can be encouraged within an organization through internal messaging.
This is also pretty stupid. By this logic, we can blame every mistake anyone ever made, for any organization, in any capacity, on their political leanings.
Not really, but if that's the corner you want to fight from.
Quite honestly, the Afghanistan withdrawal appears to me to be a trainwreck. That said, I really don't have the knowledge to know who made which assessments and which decisions, nor do I know enough about the details to understand what all the other options were, understand the pros/cons of those options, etc. For all I know, Milley made decisions based on faulty intelligence. For all I know, he made decisions then was overruled by Biden or others in the administration. For all I know, neither of those things are accurate. My answer is, quite simply, I don't know.
I'll say when the dust settles, it's going to be Milley who gets the axe. His strategic recommendations and intelligence failures are historically bad. Spending any time on "white rage" furthers his ineptitude.
All things considered, the airforce is the branch I'd send my kids to if they wanted a recommendation.
