Musk makes very insightful comments about war. I am 72 years old and only a high lottery number kept me from being drafted into the Vietnam War. 57,000 young Americans died in the Vietnam War for nothing. Today, tens of thousands of young Ukrainian and Russian men are dying to keep some sort of border intact. Hopefully now that Russia has taken over Ukrainian ground of Russian speaking people the borders will be redrawn and the killing stopped. It is both ironic and tremendously stupid that Europe has purchased tens of billions of dollars of Russian Natural Gas and Oil to fund Russia buying munitions and mobilizing their army against Ukraine which sits next to Europe. Only Trump has the high IQ and testosterone to correctly identify our enemies and stop them. God Bless President Trump as he fights the Globalists who want to make the Globe Great Over America while Trump makes America Great Again over the Globalist Democrats, Communists and Socialists. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
Thank God we have Trump to save our country. I am no religious fanatic. I had a friend who was a religious major at Harvard and he said all the faculty were atheists or agnostics. LOL. I believe in God and I do find it compelling that Donald Trump has single handedly gotten our Country on the right track. I love him assigning Alina Habba and Pam Bondi to take on murderers, rapists, pedophiles and even worse the Deep
State Scum Politicians fighting Trump and Patriots. The Deep State has replaced King George as the enemy of young people, middle aged people and the elderly who want to make Americans first. W. Manion, MDPhDJDMBA
I'm 74 and . . . almost!. . . got caught up in 'Nam-- low number and the draft board called but I ended up getting lucky.
It pains me to no end to see many Republicans in Congress un-awake to these facts and pushing for even more war. . . after all this time. . . WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia. The only one which was of decent consequence was Korean, maybe of some worth to ending the cold war one could claim Bosnia.
Hey Old Guy, I would tell you the scum in congress are fully awake and know exactly what they are doing to the American people, our wealth and our power over them. They act with contempt towards us and the Constitution which is supposed to protect us from them. The American people have long forget that is it our responsibility to protect the Constitution from them. In the Constitution lies the people's real power but only if WE THE PEOPLE actively and proactively defend it.
They all deserve service from the business end of our 2A implements, IMHO.
Dear Dan fellow Lowly Scum & Deplorable. Like you I was cursed with high common sense, high IQ and high education to suffer the great majority of Democrats. Democrats who generally exemplify low common sense, low IQ and complete ignorance of STEM capability. Do you know any Democrat politicians who are STEM capable and knowledgeable? STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. As long as Democrats could tax our country as much as they wanted they were successful. When Franklin Roosevelt started Social Security there were 16 workers for every retired person. Now there are four workers for every retired person. Do Democrats have any mathematical concept of what that means. Democrats believe they can just keep raising taxes on middle aged and young people until the Ponzi scheme collapses. Thank God Trump, Musk and other intelligent people are going to save our country from low IQ, lazy, low ambition, the government owes me everything Democrats. Young people , please don’t listen to Democrat millionaires and billionaire politicians, movie stars and influencers preaching their “You have to have a lower standard of living than your parents because of Global Warming philosophy.” Vote Republican and give your future a chance. God Bless President Trump and we MAGA republicans. Young people, middle aged and retirees; WE HAVE YOUR BACK AGAINST SOCIALIST COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
Again, very well said, you are preaching to the choir, and I appreciate it. I hope that people who are "listening in" will read it, and most importantly understand the veracity of your statements.
The evil ones who have been raping, pillaging, and burning the USA for their own self interests are not going to simply roll over and play dead. We cannot expect POTUS to fix it all by himself, even given the outstanding start in his second term. Evil is pushing back everywhere on everything, using every conceivable dirty trick to stall him.
We have to be in the fight and backing him 110%. And we have to get involved in the local fight at the county and below where we really have constitutional power, if we will simply learn it and execute it.
You are spot on! The neo cons could care less who loses their lives. And we all know there hasn’t been a tax a Democrat hasn’t liked. It hasn’t been too long ago that we actually had a government that believed in balanced budgets. That’s long gone now.
The European leaders are globalists [mostly] and went along with the previous US administrations which were also globalist. Trump broke the crock that the mess was in.
America [previous administrations] must not forget its part in starting the Ukraine debacle, it did not start with the Russian incursion in 2022.
Exactly, Jake. Your remarks are facts the globalists and their lap dog uniparty, deep state and msm would like to be forgotten and erased from history.
The Europeans and Asians have been fighting amongst themselves for millennia. We are fools to believe there’s anything we can do to stop them. We have been propagandized to the point where most here and in Europe suffer from Russian Derangement Syndrome. The United States needs to cut off all military aid to Ukraine and to withdraw from NATO.
Thank you for your insight fellow deplorable. I have yet to meet a Democrat politician of education, IQ or common sense I would ever trust to help our Country. Now young people and more adults are questioning the $37 Trillion dollars of debt Democrats and RINO Republicans have dumped on them with their tax, tax, tax, spend, spend, spend socialist, communist, AOC, Bernie Sanders philosophy. Grifters Sanders and AOC are both multimillionaires feeding their socialist, communist nonsense to the masses. Thank God young people and more adults are questioning voters see through their phoniness, their duplicity and their Make Americans Last Philosophy as they enjoy multiple luxury homes, luxury cars and multimillionaire net worth. What scammers they are. Con men and Fraudsters should study and emulate Comrade BS Bernie Sanders and low IQ, low educated, fast talking Comrade AOC. Even Amazon fled investing in AOC’s neighborhood when they learned of her nonsense. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
Written and posted by people who have obviously been able to retain their objectivity and discernment. They belong to neither the right cult, nor the left cult.
LOL, That's humorous coming from a lunatic who wouldn't know objectivity if it smacked objectivity into him... still a smack in the face would probably help.
And you would defend ovomit and brandon, while feigning to be someone who gives a damn about the country. Admit you hate America and we can go our separate directions. Watching TDS sufferers is thoroughly enjoyable. Go away dummycrat.
President Trump is in an existential fight for us. We need to get in the fight. I am well instructed on acquiring correct sight picture, breathing technique, and proper squeeze technique.
And they know it, which is why they spend every waking moment trying to figure out how they can steal our ability to defeat them with finality, with extreme prejudice...
Wow, what a well considered comment from a TDS sufferer. I think I will rather spend my time donating to him, supporting him and his efforts to help me and you (even though you are too stupid to realize it)... and well, perhaps getting a good center of mass on your pumpkin...
My husband's draft number was 3!! He served 4 years in the Vietnam War, and I respect and am deeply grateful to all who put their lives on the line to serve our great nation and keep it safe and free!! But that war had no consequence to our country except the loss of tens of thousands of mostly young men who had no choice but to go and risk their lives. I imagine the same is true for young Russian and Ukrainian men today, and it needs to stop. It's mass slaughtering! Elon was spot on in his impassioned and emphatic statement, and I applaud him for taking that stand and saying it!!!
Dear Deb, let me tell you something profound. On November 13, 1982 I was in Washington, DC the day the Vietnam Wall was dedicated with all the names of the 57,000 plus young men who died in Vietnam. After my medical conference I walked over to the wall. There were thousands of survivors of the 57,000 young dead men whose names were on the wall. There were parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles …. People would take a piece of paper and trace the name of their son with chalk or crayon so they could have a piece of memorabilia of their dead son. I was 30 years old and in seconds was weeping like a baby watching these poor parents, brothers, sisters remember their dead, loved one. I remember thinking if I ever had a son who was going to be drafted I would flee with him to Canada and work full time to support him in college. I wish there were more video cameras to document what I saw that day. I love President Trump. He doesn’t send our young men and women into senseless war. Trump drops bombs on the heads of milatery leaders threatening the United States. General Soleimani learned the hard way Trump wasn’t kidding or drawing a red line like our pussy President Obama who never acted when his red line was crossed. Trump is amazing and thank God senile, demented Biden and his low testosterone Presidential team are now out. Enemies knew that Obama and Biden are low testosterone Democrat pussies. Enemies know Trump has normal testosterone levels and is not going to allow dictators, terrorists, murderers kill Americans or threaten America. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
I think what made the Vietnam wall more emotional, at least for me, was that the heroes whose names appeared on that wall were FINALLY honored for their service and sacrifice. When those that survived that horrific war came back on US soil, they were vilified, and spat upon, as if they hadn't been through enough! And the only ones memorializing those that didn't survive were their poor families left to grieve while being shamed. Thank God that wall was erected and those brave soldiers were recognized and memorialized! Those poor patriots were innocent victims of poor governance, and speaking of poor governance...we sure know all about that after the past 4 years! Thank God for Trump!! Otherwise, we were on the road to certain bankruptcy!
Your analysis was well portrayed in the movie Coming Home with Hanoi Jane Fonda. Trump doesn’t send young men into battle to kill other young men. Trump kills the leaders by dropping bombs on their heads. How many leaders are going to fight Trump when they know they will be targeted and killed first? How many? LOL. How lucky we are to have Trump saving our country? If Democrats really hate Trump and Democrats love a welfare society let them all move to California and secede from the United States. They can welcome all the welfare recipients and illegal immigrants they want to make their Utopian Socialist Society. Bernie Sanders, AOC, Adam Shifty Schiff, Merrick Garland and their followers can move there if they wish. LOL. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
Agreed! California can have them, and good riddance!! The only problem with that and them seceding from the nation is that we'd have more borders to police and protect! I think we should facilitate a massive earthquake that would split California from the rest of the continent and send them out to sea! The island of California would be like another Alcatraz, full of TDS sufferers! 😉🙂
I have those same tears right now reading your words,
remembering days gone by watching my brothers leave the family home.
Never certain of their return. Thinking how my own mother teared again as she had endured the same situation when my father went off to the Nazi conflict.
Now she had 4 of her own that may or may not come home in a box.
They all had a choice. I would celebrate his survival, if i knew he was an honourable soldier. There are many who exercised their rights to refuse to participate in any combat or support of it, and i respect their choice even more so - if their motives were honourable and they used their lives to protect and defend the lives of others.
There was, until very recently, one surviving retired Canadian serviceman who served in a combat unit within the arena of that conflict. Before his death ( 98 years-old remarkably ) one of the questions he was asked:
“What do you regret about your military service?”
His reply came slowly, with reluctance and emotion:
“That i served aboard a vessel, commanded by a captain that complied so willingly…who was commanded by an admiralty that complied so willingly…who were commanded by a U.N. / American military cooperative - to participate in possibly the most inappropriate and mismanaged military operations since The Boer War. I’m proud of the service to The R.C.N. and for the reasons i put on that uniform, however ‘The Vietnam War’ was horrendous on regular soldiers and i was part of a group of many who suffered very little, if anything - while we helped maintain the conflict that nearby destroyed an entire post-WW2 generation, still reeling from the horrors of The Korean War. Unless you know, explaining shame and pride in the same context, is very difficult to articulate or comprehend.”
Lest We Forget - indeed.
Saying “No” is far more courageous when one knows by doing so he might lose the love and respect of his people, and likely spend at least a decade imprisoned or exiled, and every actual heroic action or courageous decision during that period or following would never be considered or even recognized.
I’m glad your husband survived and i hope he has been an honourable man during his service, and since. If not, then may OUR FATHER forgive him of a mountain of sin. If he has been honourable ( including penance for the understanding of wrong-doing ) then i hope you and he will remember how absolutely stupid that entire façade of a ‘war’ was, including all the good men who suffered for decades for refusing to participate on grounds of conscience, the good men who died in the war, the good men who died because of wicked men they fought alongside or as subordinates, and all the good men who died after their participation had ended - due to shame and or injuries / illnesses attained from military service during the conflict.
I am your shadow. My father served 3 yrs with Patton tank Army in France WW2.
I too am 72. 3 older bros all served 4 yr hitches in USN in that pacific Theater called Vietnam. Which in fact began in the early 60s with the oldest. We are by age close to 4 years apart. I took my chances with lottery ball number scheme. Had the higher number both years of the draft. Did not serve in military. My youngest so did however, served on the CNV75 Trumann for 4 years, awarded a yellow ribbon scholarship to Reed College and now completed 4 yrs in Portland Or.
Working active duty on a Carrier that flew many thousands of sorties off the deck of the carrier, you'll never witness the destructive carnage of thousands of pounds of near precise target demolitions. War has changed. It's still bloody but way more expensive.
The war hawks claim there is less collateral damage. The survivors tell different tales.
Young men sent to kill other young men they don't hate. By older men that hate other older men but kill because it's only a job paying well with no consequences.
Your family has patriotism in its’ DNA. LOL. To be with Patton!! Unbelievable and to survive being under Patton is even more amazing. LOL I just read an article where Patton moved his army North through France in winter over 100 miles to rescue a trapped American army surrounded by Germans. Unbelievable. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
My grandfather came to the USA from Austria/thru Germany to Ellis Island as a boy in 1909 he was 9 yrs old to St Paul Minn. with his parents.
He started the ball rolling of family military service as he fought in the Spanish American war somewhere near Mexico. Not sure how long he spent there.
He lived out his days in St.Paul raised 5 children, worked as a law book binder
for West Publishing. Dedicated he ran the elevator into his 80s. This was back in the days when the CEO attended your funeral like a family member. Integrity was always an epic badge of courage. Not so sure anymore....Sigh....
William, Ive walked the entire 25 km perimeter you are talking about at Bastogne, in the winter. A historical walk, you can begin to imagine what the elements of the 101st Airborne was dealing with. "Nuts" to the german commander who demanded their surrender. THANK GOD, yet again, that the clouds vanished, enabling air power to provide desperately needed resupply and destruction of the german and Patton was able to enter the fray. A lot of folks in the 101st will tell you they didn't need Patton... they may be right, but I'm damn glad he pushed his fighting force to get there.
I would be honoured to be a friend to the son of a man who served under General Patton. Our People have mused about the likely conspiracy around his surprising death, however too few have written or spoken about it. There is ‘zero’ doubt in my mind that ‘The General’ was intentionally killed because of the fears his (🔯) superiors had about him going-rogue and taking sides with the waning Wehrmacht. He openly stated several times off-the-record that there was no pleasure defeating the German military and the process was inevitable…”The Germans knew it but they stood their ground and made us pay dearly for every yard.”
It was a sad day indeed when the only 🇺🇸 General the German High-Command would have ever considered formally surrendering to was murdered before he could be in that position. I’m certain his untimely demise was to prevent that from occurring.
Of course; i consider Author David Irving a hero, i never took ‘The Jab’ or explained why even when becoming destitute for my choices, i am completely objective about the cosmology of our world…so, what do i know?
Well said William you are spot on!! It’s time these so called leaders went to the front line! Instead of lining up for photographs with Zekensky😩.So many lives wasted, fir what??
Trump has high IQ? What about common sense? I wonder if his high IQ has caused him to read the US Constitution? If he has, why does he ignore so much of it as he governs?
I am an attorney and see no problem with Trump interpreting the Constitution. The drafters of the Constitution wanted a President with equal power to the Congress and equal power to the Courts with the Supreme Court being a referee. In 1776 it would take weeks for representatives to travel and meet to decide issues. The President couldn’t wait weeks to respond to Indian attacks or British attacks. The President had to respond immediately. God Bless President Trump saving our Country for our young and middle aged generation. Why are our young people inheriting 37 Trillion dollars of debt from Democrats and RINO Republicans? Why are we screwing our young people telling them their standard of living
Will be lower than their parents for the first time in American history? Really, while China opens a new coal burning plant every week and we buy all their crap made in coal burning supported factories? Really? Natural gas and oil will support us until we build the small Nuclear Fusion reactors. I want to live to see the day we can tell the Arab oil cartel to stick their oil up their ass. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
We agree that you, I, all citizens and Trump should be able to interpret the Constitution. English is my primary language, and while not an attorney I have studied and interpreted the document since I took the federal oath as a young officer in the US Army in 1969. I do understand what the First Amendment means. Trump should too, but my bet is he’s never bothered to read it in his life. What is painfully obvious is that Donald and his cabinet are so strongly biased in favor of the Israeli state and its Zionists that they are effectively agents of a foreign government and should appropriately register under FARA. Sadly both houses of Congress are in the same boat. They are all willing to effectively disregard constitutional principles to “protect “ our “friends” in Israel, and have done so since before the Patriot Act 20+ years ago. For the record, I voted for the other Jew, the peace-seeking and brave Jill Stein, twice.
Stein may have been the peace candidate but I imagine that wouldn't have and doesn't now extend to israel. If Trump understands the 1st amendment, why does he want to criminalize "anti-semetic speech? Why are jews and dual American israeli citizens extremely disproportionately represented in government, finance, porn industry, MSM, ngo's specifically ngo's aiding and abetting third world illegal alien invasion of every western country?
Why isn't AIPAC registered as a foreign lobby group?
And before I get mindlessly attacked, this doesn't mean I support islam/leftists, progressives, rinos or communists, which is the democrat party. I have spent enough time in muslim countries for that. I am America first, not israel first.
You people who think that document means anything are really ignorant. That document was a tenet, a reflection of a concept, and that being of a country - that was short-lived, illegally achieved, illegitimate in its entirety and before becoming legitimate, was lost to an array of 🔯-🇻🇦(🐉) forces.
Holding to some notion that ‘The Constitution of The United States’ means anything when the country it was a reflection of and guide to - doesn’t exist anymore…and…your Corporation of The U.S.A. President ( Colonel Combover, IDF Agent ) did not fulfill the formal requirements to accept The Office of The President of The Corporation of The U.S.A.!
And it seems, none of you understand any of this. It is this level of ignorance that discourages me from really contributing here, when most of my ‘readers’ would not understand which end of the tool scoops the poop out of the cat toilet.
References to the US Constitution are necessary from time to time as a means of pointing out the illegitimacy of the US government in its current form. That sitting Congress members and presidents exhibit both an ignorance of the Constitution as well as an unwillingness to adhere to its limitations on their authority is a basic observation of how almost all of them routinely betray their oaths of office and their constituents.
Giving voice to that observation is one thing that ordinary people can do to protest the ongoing crimes of our purported "leaders". For me, it is much more valuable than dismissing the relevance of the Constitution.
I’m not “dismissing the relevance”, i’m stating “there is no current relevance”. It’s like: “we might need to go to war” versus “we have already lost”.
I agree, but we’re both totally romantic. In reality, as George Bush said 20 years ago in defense of his Israeli-inspired Global War Of Terror, the constitution is just a piece of paper. I’ve known that for years, but sometimes wax romantic. Humans holding power have long used “rule of law” sophistry to facilitate their crimes.
shrub said it's just a g-d piece of paper. that is one of the failings of the Constitution. There is no penalty, no sanctions for ignoring it. Along with ambiguity, leaving room for interpretation. Anyway constitutions in general mean nothing because they are typically ignored anyway.
Look at Liberia or the old constitution of the USSR.
“But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.”― Lysander Spooner, https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/2095916
Where is the $380,000,000,000.00 or $380 Billion dollars we sent Ukraine??? Where??? Alina Habba and Pam Bondi please investigate kickbacks to Deep State Democrat politicians and Deep State RINO Republicans. God Bless President Trump. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
I served the country in the Army for 34 years. Some might call me a Patriot for that effort, maybe so. But it has zip to do with future performance.
Musk correctly called out the bullshit kelly perpetually projectile vomits at the people of the USA, he is obviously a shill for the mil-industrial complex and the massive over-reach of the leviathan of the federal government. For those unaware, he is also a delusional liberal lunatic. Kelly is now, officially a disgrace and his prior performance in un-contested airspace is irrelevant. In fact un-contested airspace is even far better than air supremacy in terms of an enemy without a dog they can put in the fight.
And one other really important thing, I live in Southern Arizona. Kelly did not win his "election" because it was a s_Election with massive mail in vote fraud and programmable machines.
God gave me the Will to fight the bureaucracy, "OG". I've always sought to be an instrument of His Perfect Will. Let me be as clear as possible, IF NOT FOR HIM, I'd have never been able to stay in the fight that long. Not bragging, but by His Will I was able to accomplish many things at every level of the Army.
clinton, obama, and biden have done absolutely grave damage to DOD and the entire federal government as they have added bureaucracy after bureaucracy and filled them full of delusional ideologues who hate the USA and especially us. President Trump, a gift from God to us, is trying to undo it all. He has learned from his first term and the last 4 years what unchecked power has done to him and us. And he is coming with a vengeance after the corrupt, evil bastards. We have to give him every ounce of support we have in our blood.
And put in to office, unlawfully, with treason to hurt the USA, and to do the bidding of those who bought and paid for him - the globalists in and out of the USA.
Kelly was decorated for slaughtering under-equipped soldiers. Nothing to be proud about there. The real reason for going into Iraq is very dark. And Kelly's voting record will not win any rewards for him in eternity. BTW - I was an AF skypilot.
Thank you, Elon, for your comment! So many US citizens think the same, but we never hear this from our congressional representatives and other supposed leaders. Instead we hear about DEI BS and give us more money, but no solutions, and little to no help for US citizens.
You mean the Iraq National Museum of Antiquities where they stole the ancient stone cuneiform tablets of intense interest to the CIA and, acting as agents for the anonymous uber-rich, they cherry-picked specific irreplaceable treasures like the Queen’s Tiara ?
It probably would have been better for the entire world had there been 2-3 million "civilians" killed. Lets never forget, they were equally involved in manning, equipping and sustaining the Iraqi military. I know you disagree, I could give a fuck, you didn't have to go over and fight them.
I am not sure we ever should have gone to Iraq, since they were NOT the 911 perps, BUT more to the point WERE and I emphasize WERE the Muslim counter balance to Iran m, and without Iraq to be the Muslim rival to Iran in Islam, Iran has basically assumed a very large role and become a Nuclear power, a major player in the Middle East, and a purveyor of terror in the world!
WithIraq in the picture, they could have been our uncooperative trump card!
You must be really young, or perhaps lack historical knowledge to not remember the 91 Persian Gulf war and everything which precipitated it? We didn't do then what we should have done, which is plow on through to baghdad and remove Saddam. So, 10 years later, we get to do it all again, but this time deal with more festering hate from the land which thrives on it.
Let’s put it this way, no Islamic state in the Middle East is our friend. They all want a Caliphate but are about as cohesive sect wise as Rand Paul, Schumer, and Sanders! Our best strategy has ALWAYS BEEN TO KEEP THEM FIGHTING AMONG THEMSELVES! Eliminating Saddam(Iraq) from the equation provided opening for Iran to be more prominent if they did not have Saddam as an adversary!
The US could have kept that cat in the bag, as we were NEVER GOING TO CONVERT THEM OR AFGHANISTAN to our way of thinking. Our strategy should have been to turn them against each other not make one immensely stronger, an foment more discontent in Afghanistan, again a dumb proposition which everyone in history has lost!
No not really. But ovomit and brandon giving Iran and afghanistan billions and billions sure did. And inviting them into our country was a "great" idea.
And FTR we don't need to convert them, just need to kill them until they figure it all out and decide it's not a good plan to fuck with us. Ask the Japanese and the Germans, the last time the military was really allowed to fight. When we didn't have pussies like clinton, ovomit, bush, and Resident Autopen Cabbage.
You keep missing the point…if we’d stayed home or truly limited our exposure the first time, the Sunny’s and Sikhs would be spending more time trashing each other than Israel and us; plus be a lot further from nuclear weapons! This is a much bigger picture ands strategy than just blocking their ass!
I am not a diplomat, I have to go solve what the diplomats failed. I submit again, the entire middle east is as POTUS has said, an s'hole. And thanks to America haters like obama and the puppet masters who put him and Resident Autopen Cabbage in power, we now have them in our country and in positions of power over us (tlaib and omar, etc and judges who still are Canadian citizens running our corrupt courts.)
Civilians also includes the Old, Infirm, Sick and Children, Babies, Women, the Unborn,etc.! Were all of those Human Beings responsible too. Besides, they were fighting to defend their Home country. The whole thing was Senseless and Useless, and we were the Aggressors. Weapons of mass Destruction. What a Travesty! DAMN ALL WAR!
Here's what I will say. When you decide to deploy your military force, it is no longer a diplomatic exercise. It is, go in, kill everything necessary to set the conditions for the enemy to give up, unconditionally. If you don't do that, then you should have never sent the military to become what the diplomats were supposed to be, and do.
Here is what I will say. My last Comment. War should be a result of Declaration of War by Congress, not by whatever Administration is in power at the time. Any War that is not declared is an Illegal War. BTW, the U. S. have issued 5 Declarations of War out of All the Mischief we have caused in our history. War should not be waged on Civilians. In fact, all care should be taken to avoid civilians. All war should be Avoided, not sought out and pursued. All of the Evils in the world take place in the Fog of War. Total War is the worst Abomination!! Civilian populations should Never be the Target. And they have been by this country. More is the Pity.
Did you ever stop to question WHY the US was in Iraq to begin with? It’s not my fault you were stupid enough to “serve”….serve who or what is the question. SERVE THE RICH MEN IF YOU WANT. There was no draft. YOU put yourself in that situation. Iraq never posed a threat to the US any more than Vietnam, Libya, Syria, Yemen or IRAN. Don’t bother trying to play hero with me…
Yes I disrespect people who participate in wars that have nothing whatsoever to do with protecting their own country. These ill-conceived military adventures have created millions of young muslim men who want to kill us, many of whom…thanks to Joe Biden…are now in the US.
Same to you brother, you know nothing about me. You put yourself & your career out there. So your logic is that the statesmen & diplomats decide if the country goes to war? Not under the Constitution they don’t. Neither does the President. CONGRESS has that power. Don’t get so immature & nasty when someone dares to honestly responds to who you say you are. No one is under any obligation ethically, morally or legally to follow orders that are illegal. Congress never declared war on Iraq…Colin Powell lied at the UN backed up by that smarmy lying George Tenant. You have to live with the moral implications of your choices just as I and all of us do. If someone attacked us - I have no qualms about defending us. That as you know never happened. Moreover I believe in karma. The United States and its citizenry will likely reap the whirlwind over these pointless lost wars. I’m not happy about that. I did everything within my power to prevent that from happening. Can you?
It’s an UN winnable war!!! It has become a huge grifting reality. Why should we care about ukraines border when we are not fixxing our own southern border? Why send young men to die for a country that is Pandora’s box of corruption. Russia said no nato missiles in Ukraine. Ukraine has bombed its own people. Glad Elon is speaking truth to a senator
Irregardless of his credentials the facts are end this war and stop pretending it’s a noble cause. The only winners are the insatiable deep state that profits.
Thank you so much for posting this! It appears that we have a lot of people in the world and the US who can't think. Thankfully, Elon is not one of them.
Musk makes very insightful comments about war. I am 72 years old and only a high lottery number kept me from being drafted into the Vietnam War. 57,000 young Americans died in the Vietnam War for nothing. Today, tens of thousands of young Ukrainian and Russian men are dying to keep some sort of border intact. Hopefully now that Russia has taken over Ukrainian ground of Russian speaking people the borders will be redrawn and the killing stopped. It is both ironic and tremendously stupid that Europe has purchased tens of billions of dollars of Russian Natural Gas and Oil to fund Russia buying munitions and mobilizing their army against Ukraine which sits next to Europe. Only Trump has the high IQ and testosterone to correctly identify our enemies and stop them. God Bless President Trump as he fights the Globalists who want to make the Globe Great Over America while Trump makes America Great Again over the Globalist Democrats, Communists and Socialists. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
Well said William.
The europeans have built a self perpetuating war, haven't they. And Trump is going to stop it. To their utter dismay!
Thank God we have Trump to save our country. I am no religious fanatic. I had a friend who was a religious major at Harvard and he said all the faculty were atheists or agnostics. LOL. I believe in God and I do find it compelling that Donald Trump has single handedly gotten our Country on the right track. I love him assigning Alina Habba and Pam Bondi to take on murderers, rapists, pedophiles and even worse the Deep
State Scum Politicians fighting Trump and Patriots. The Deep State has replaced King George as the enemy of young people, middle aged people and the elderly who want to make Americans first. W. Manion, MDPhDJDMBA

and I will second this one too, Dr Bill. Love it.
I'm 74 and . . . almost!. . . got caught up in 'Nam-- low number and the draft board called but I ended up getting lucky.
It pains me to no end to see many Republicans in Congress un-awake to these facts and pushing for even more war. . . after all this time. . . WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia. The only one which was of decent consequence was Korean, maybe of some worth to ending the cold war one could claim Bosnia.
Crapp, just crapp.
Hey Old Guy, I would tell you the scum in congress are fully awake and know exactly what they are doing to the American people, our wealth and our power over them. They act with contempt towards us and the Constitution which is supposed to protect us from them. The American people have long forget that is it our responsibility to protect the Constitution from them. In the Constitution lies the people's real power but only if WE THE PEOPLE actively and proactively defend it.
They all deserve service from the business end of our 2A implements, IMHO.
"2A implement"? lost me there
like a class 2 - 3 pt hitch? huh?
Kinda… how about 5.56mm?
You’re right about non-believers of God who think on the wrong side of war.
Amen Brother.
Dear Dan fellow Lowly Scum & Deplorable. Like you I was cursed with high common sense, high IQ and high education to suffer the great majority of Democrats. Democrats who generally exemplify low common sense, low IQ and complete ignorance of STEM capability. Do you know any Democrat politicians who are STEM capable and knowledgeable? STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. As long as Democrats could tax our country as much as they wanted they were successful. When Franklin Roosevelt started Social Security there were 16 workers for every retired person. Now there are four workers for every retired person. Do Democrats have any mathematical concept of what that means. Democrats believe they can just keep raising taxes on middle aged and young people until the Ponzi scheme collapses. Thank God Trump, Musk and other intelligent people are going to save our country from low IQ, lazy, low ambition, the government owes me everything Democrats. Young people , please don’t listen to Democrat millionaires and billionaire politicians, movie stars and influencers preaching their “You have to have a lower standard of living than your parents because of Global Warming philosophy.” Vote Republican and give your future a chance. God Bless President Trump and we MAGA republicans. Young people, middle aged and retirees; WE HAVE YOUR BACK AGAINST SOCIALIST COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
Again, very well said, you are preaching to the choir, and I appreciate it. I hope that people who are "listening in" will read it, and most importantly understand the veracity of your statements.
The evil ones who have been raping, pillaging, and burning the USA for their own self interests are not going to simply roll over and play dead. We cannot expect POTUS to fix it all by himself, even given the outstanding start in his second term. Evil is pushing back everywhere on everything, using every conceivable dirty trick to stall him.
We have to be in the fight and backing him 110%. And we have to get involved in the local fight at the county and below where we really have constitutional power, if we will simply learn it and execute it.
10,000 Americans turn 65 almost every day.
OUCH....That's gotta leave a mark!
Along with all those issues that coincide with aging now in America.
You are spot on! The neo cons could care less who loses their lives. And we all know there hasn’t been a tax a Democrat hasn’t liked. It hasn’t been too long ago that we actually had a government that believed in balanced budgets. That’s long gone now.
...the Europeans didn't build it, the US did.
The European leaders are globalists [mostly] and went along with the previous US administrations which were also globalist. Trump broke the crock that the mess was in.
America [previous administrations] must not forget its part in starting the Ukraine debacle, it did not start with the Russian incursion in 2022.
Exactly, Jake. Your remarks are facts the globalists and their lap dog uniparty, deep state and msm would like to be forgotten and erased from history.
and I will second you on that one big Dan!
The Europeans and Asians have been fighting amongst themselves for millennia. We are fools to believe there’s anything we can do to stop them. We have been propagandized to the point where most here and in Europe suffer from Russian Derangement Syndrome. The United States needs to cut off all military aid to Ukraine and to withdraw from NATO.
Spot on Jack. Thank you. Now if only we can cut through the granite in the heads of those who suffer with TDS and RDS.
Thank you for your insight fellow deplorable. I have yet to meet a Democrat politician of education, IQ or common sense I would ever trust to help our Country. Now young people and more adults are questioning the $37 Trillion dollars of debt Democrats and RINO Republicans have dumped on them with their tax, tax, tax, spend, spend, spend socialist, communist, AOC, Bernie Sanders philosophy. Grifters Sanders and AOC are both multimillionaires feeding their socialist, communist nonsense to the masses. Thank God young people and more adults are questioning voters see through their phoniness, their duplicity and their Make Americans Last Philosophy as they enjoy multiple luxury homes, luxury cars and multimillionaire net worth. What scammers they are. Con men and Fraudsters should study and emulate Comrade BS Bernie Sanders and low IQ, low educated, fast talking Comrade AOC. Even Amazon fled investing in AOC’s neighborhood when they learned of her nonsense. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
great commentary, William.
Thanks

LOL, That's humorous coming from a lunatic who wouldn't know objectivity if it smacked objectivity into him... still a smack in the face would probably help.
Look in the mirror when you say that. You'd obviously defend trump no matter what. That's objectivity for ya!
And you would defend ovomit and brandon, while feigning to be someone who gives a damn about the country. Admit you hate America and we can go our separate directions. Watching TDS sufferers is thoroughly enjoyable. Go away dummycrat.

Is that a confession you have TDS? Correction - DTS (Deranged by Trump Syndrome).
I think it's a confession he belongs to the "right cult".
I understand, you dont speak English... so, No, it's strictly for you and this Moe thing who, like you, is in an actual TDS suffering cult.
Bye! Continue your Trumpensteinian, Edomite gibberish away from me. Be sure to wear a big, fake ear bandage to warn rational people about you.
Nope, I see him for what he is - a tool of the oligarchy, just like so many other politicians on both "sides".
President Trump is in an existential fight for us. We need to get in the fight. I am well instructed on acquiring correct sight picture, breathing technique, and proper squeeze technique.
And they know it, which is why they spend every waking moment trying to figure out how they can steal our ability to defeat them with finality, with extreme prejudice...
Shine his shoes while you're down there, Danny.
Wow, what a well considered comment from a TDS sufferer. I think I will rather spend my time donating to him, supporting him and his efforts to help me and you (even though you are too stupid to realize it)... and well, perhaps getting a good center of mass on your pumpkin...
My husband's draft number was 3!! He served 4 years in the Vietnam War, and I respect and am deeply grateful to all who put their lives on the line to serve our great nation and keep it safe and free!! But that war had no consequence to our country except the loss of tens of thousands of mostly young men who had no choice but to go and risk their lives. I imagine the same is true for young Russian and Ukrainian men today, and it needs to stop. It's mass slaughtering! Elon was spot on in his impassioned and emphatic statement, and I applaud him for taking that stand and saying it!!!
Dear Deb, let me tell you something profound. On November 13, 1982 I was in Washington, DC the day the Vietnam Wall was dedicated with all the names of the 57,000 plus young men who died in Vietnam. After my medical conference I walked over to the wall. There were thousands of survivors of the 57,000 young dead men whose names were on the wall. There were parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles …. People would take a piece of paper and trace the name of their son with chalk or crayon so they could have a piece of memorabilia of their dead son. I was 30 years old and in seconds was weeping like a baby watching these poor parents, brothers, sisters remember their dead, loved one. I remember thinking if I ever had a son who was going to be drafted I would flee with him to Canada and work full time to support him in college. I wish there were more video cameras to document what I saw that day. I love President Trump. He doesn’t send our young men and women into senseless war. Trump drops bombs on the heads of milatery leaders threatening the United States. General Soleimani learned the hard way Trump wasn’t kidding or drawing a red line like our pussy President Obama who never acted when his red line was crossed. Trump is amazing and thank God senile, demented Biden and his low testosterone Presidential team are now out. Enemies knew that Obama and Biden are low testosterone Democrat pussies. Enemies know Trump has normal testosterone levels and is not going to allow dictators, terrorists, murderers kill Americans or threaten America. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
I think what made the Vietnam wall more emotional, at least for me, was that the heroes whose names appeared on that wall were FINALLY honored for their service and sacrifice. When those that survived that horrific war came back on US soil, they were vilified, and spat upon, as if they hadn't been through enough! And the only ones memorializing those that didn't survive were their poor families left to grieve while being shamed. Thank God that wall was erected and those brave soldiers were recognized and memorialized! Those poor patriots were innocent victims of poor governance, and speaking of poor governance...we sure know all about that after the past 4 years! Thank God for Trump!! Otherwise, we were on the road to certain bankruptcy!
Your analysis was well portrayed in the movie Coming Home with Hanoi Jane Fonda. Trump doesn’t send young men into battle to kill other young men. Trump kills the leaders by dropping bombs on their heads. How many leaders are going to fight Trump when they know they will be targeted and killed first? How many? LOL. How lucky we are to have Trump saving our country? If Democrats really hate Trump and Democrats love a welfare society let them all move to California and secede from the United States. They can welcome all the welfare recipients and illegal immigrants they want to make their Utopian Socialist Society. Bernie Sanders, AOC, Adam Shifty Schiff, Merrick Garland and their followers can move there if they wish. LOL. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
Agreed! California can have them, and good riddance!! The only problem with that and them seceding from the nation is that we'd have more borders to police and protect! I think we should facilitate a massive earthquake that would split California from the rest of the continent and send them out to sea! The island of California would be like another Alcatraz, full of TDS sufferers! 😉🙂
Beautiful Deb, thank you.
I have those same tears right now reading your words,
remembering days gone by watching my brothers leave the family home.
Never certain of their return. Thinking how my own mother teared again as she had endured the same situation when my father went off to the Nazi conflict.
Now she had 4 of her own that may or may not come home in a box.
This post brought tears to me eyes. At least the first part.
The second part reminded me how fortunate we are that God turned Trump's head just enough...
Good evening Deb.
The dominance and global hatred..... It needs to end. |
Just another mess Joe made for us to clean up on aisle 20 thru 25!
They all had a choice. I would celebrate his survival, if i knew he was an honourable soldier. There are many who exercised their rights to refuse to participate in any combat or support of it, and i respect their choice even more so - if their motives were honourable and they used their lives to protect and defend the lives of others.
There was, until very recently, one surviving retired Canadian serviceman who served in a combat unit within the arena of that conflict. Before his death ( 98 years-old remarkably ) one of the questions he was asked:
“What do you regret about your military service?”
His reply came slowly, with reluctance and emotion:
“That i served aboard a vessel, commanded by a captain that complied so willingly…who was commanded by an admiralty that complied so willingly…who were commanded by a U.N. / American military cooperative - to participate in possibly the most inappropriate and mismanaged military operations since The Boer War. I’m proud of the service to The R.C.N. and for the reasons i put on that uniform, however ‘The Vietnam War’ was horrendous on regular soldiers and i was part of a group of many who suffered very little, if anything - while we helped maintain the conflict that nearby destroyed an entire post-WW2 generation, still reeling from the horrors of The Korean War. Unless you know, explaining shame and pride in the same context, is very difficult to articulate or comprehend.”
Lest We Forget - indeed.
Saying “No” is far more courageous when one knows by doing so he might lose the love and respect of his people, and likely spend at least a decade imprisoned or exiled, and every actual heroic action or courageous decision during that period or following would never be considered or even recognized.
I’m glad your husband survived and i hope he has been an honourable man during his service, and since. If not, then may OUR FATHER forgive him of a mountain of sin. If he has been honourable ( including penance for the understanding of wrong-doing ) then i hope you and he will remember how absolutely stupid that entire façade of a ‘war’ was, including all the good men who suffered for decades for refusing to participate on grounds of conscience, the good men who died in the war, the good men who died because of wicked men they fought alongside or as subordinates, and all the good men who died after their participation had ended - due to shame and or injuries / illnesses attained from military service during the conflict.
Respect. ⚔️ 🙏
I am your shadow. My father served 3 yrs with Patton tank Army in France WW2.
I too am 72. 3 older bros all served 4 yr hitches in USN in that pacific Theater called Vietnam. Which in fact began in the early 60s with the oldest. We are by age close to 4 years apart. I took my chances with lottery ball number scheme. Had the higher number both years of the draft. Did not serve in military. My youngest so did however, served on the CNV75 Trumann for 4 years, awarded a yellow ribbon scholarship to Reed College and now completed 4 yrs in Portland Or.
Working active duty on a Carrier that flew many thousands of sorties off the deck of the carrier, you'll never witness the destructive carnage of thousands of pounds of near precise target demolitions. War has changed. It's still bloody but way more expensive.
The war hawks claim there is less collateral damage. The survivors tell different tales.
Young men sent to kill other young men they don't hate. By older men that hate other older men but kill because it's only a job paying well with no consequences.
Your family has patriotism in its’ DNA. LOL. To be with Patton!! Unbelievable and to survive being under Patton is even more amazing. LOL I just read an article where Patton moved his army North through France in winter over 100 miles to rescue a trapped American army surrounded by Germans. Unbelievable. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
My grandfather came to the USA from Austria/thru Germany to Ellis Island as a boy in 1909 he was 9 yrs old to St Paul Minn. with his parents.
He started the ball rolling of family military service as he fought in the Spanish American war somewhere near Mexico. Not sure how long he spent there.
He lived out his days in St.Paul raised 5 children, worked as a law book binder
for West Publishing. Dedicated he ran the elevator into his 80s. This was back in the days when the CEO attended your funeral like a family member. Integrity was always an epic badge of courage. Not so sure anymore....Sigh....
William, Ive walked the entire 25 km perimeter you are talking about at Bastogne, in the winter. A historical walk, you can begin to imagine what the elements of the 101st Airborne was dealing with. "Nuts" to the german commander who demanded their surrender. THANK GOD, yet again, that the clouds vanished, enabling air power to provide desperately needed resupply and destruction of the german and Patton was able to enter the fray. A lot of folks in the 101st will tell you they didn't need Patton... they may be right, but I'm damn glad he pushed his fighting force to get there.
I would be honoured to be a friend to the son of a man who served under General Patton. Our People have mused about the likely conspiracy around his surprising death, however too few have written or spoken about it. There is ‘zero’ doubt in my mind that ‘The General’ was intentionally killed because of the fears his (🔯) superiors had about him going-rogue and taking sides with the waning Wehrmacht. He openly stated several times off-the-record that there was no pleasure defeating the German military and the process was inevitable…”The Germans knew it but they stood their ground and made us pay dearly for every yard.”
It was a sad day indeed when the only 🇺🇸 General the German High-Command would have ever considered formally surrendering to was murdered before he could be in that position. I’m certain his untimely demise was to prevent that from occurring.
Of course; i consider Author David Irving a hero, i never took ‘The Jab’ or explained why even when becoming destitute for my choices, i am completely objective about the cosmology of our world…so, what do i know?
Station
War is such a hellish business plan.
Then it's been said the Victor's write the pages in the History Books.
From my standpoint "now", I find it unusually odd to brag of a winner.
When the generation of the so called loser's harbor anger and revenge?
So many questions about Human Nature. Not enough award winning answers
Well said William you are spot on!! It’s time these so called leaders went to the front line! Instead of lining up for photographs with Zekensky😩.So many lives wasted, fir what??
My draft number was 13. Then they stopped drafting everyone.
Dave, you got lucky, man!
1973. . .?
Trump has high IQ? What about common sense? I wonder if his high IQ has caused him to read the US Constitution? If he has, why does he ignore so much of it as he governs?
I am an attorney and see no problem with Trump interpreting the Constitution. The drafters of the Constitution wanted a President with equal power to the Congress and equal power to the Courts with the Supreme Court being a referee. In 1776 it would take weeks for representatives to travel and meet to decide issues. The President couldn’t wait weeks to respond to Indian attacks or British attacks. The President had to respond immediately. God Bless President Trump saving our Country for our young and middle aged generation. Why are our young people inheriting 37 Trillion dollars of debt from Democrats and RINO Republicans? Why are we screwing our young people telling them their standard of living
Will be lower than their parents for the first time in American history? Really, while China opens a new coal burning plant every week and we buy all their crap made in coal burning supported factories? Really? Natural gas and oil will support us until we build the small Nuclear Fusion reactors. I want to live to see the day we can tell the Arab oil cartel to stick their oil up their ass. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
We agree that you, I, all citizens and Trump should be able to interpret the Constitution. English is my primary language, and while not an attorney I have studied and interpreted the document since I took the federal oath as a young officer in the US Army in 1969. I do understand what the First Amendment means. Trump should too, but my bet is he’s never bothered to read it in his life. What is painfully obvious is that Donald and his cabinet are so strongly biased in favor of the Israeli state and its Zionists that they are effectively agents of a foreign government and should appropriately register under FARA. Sadly both houses of Congress are in the same boat. They are all willing to effectively disregard constitutional principles to “protect “ our “friends” in Israel, and have done so since before the Patriot Act 20+ years ago. For the record, I voted for the other Jew, the peace-seeking and brave Jill Stein, twice.
Stein may have been the peace candidate but I imagine that wouldn't have and doesn't now extend to israel. If Trump understands the 1st amendment, why does he want to criminalize "anti-semetic speech? Why are jews and dual American israeli citizens extremely disproportionately represented in government, finance, porn industry, MSM, ngo's specifically ngo's aiding and abetting third world illegal alien invasion of every western country?
Why isn't AIPAC registered as a foreign lobby group?
And before I get mindlessly attacked, this doesn't mean I support islam/leftists, progressives, rinos or communists, which is the democrat party. I have spent enough time in muslim countries for that. I am America first, not israel first.
You people who think that document means anything are really ignorant. That document was a tenet, a reflection of a concept, and that being of a country - that was short-lived, illegally achieved, illegitimate in its entirety and before becoming legitimate, was lost to an array of 🔯-🇻🇦(🐉) forces.
Holding to some notion that ‘The Constitution of The United States’ means anything when the country it was a reflection of and guide to - doesn’t exist anymore…and…your Corporation of The U.S.A. President ( Colonel Combover, IDF Agent ) did not fulfill the formal requirements to accept The Office of The President of The Corporation of The U.S.A.!
And it seems, none of you understand any of this. It is this level of ignorance that discourages me from really contributing here, when most of my ‘readers’ would not understand which end of the tool scoops the poop out of the cat toilet.
References to the US Constitution are necessary from time to time as a means of pointing out the illegitimacy of the US government in its current form. That sitting Congress members and presidents exhibit both an ignorance of the Constitution as well as an unwillingness to adhere to its limitations on their authority is a basic observation of how almost all of them routinely betray their oaths of office and their constituents.
Giving voice to that observation is one thing that ordinary people can do to protest the ongoing crimes of our purported "leaders". For me, it is much more valuable than dismissing the relevance of the Constitution.
I’m not “dismissing the relevance”, i’m stating “there is no current relevance”. It’s like: “we might need to go to war” versus “we have already lost”.
I hope that is clear.
I agree, but we’re both totally romantic. In reality, as George Bush said 20 years ago in defense of his Israeli-inspired Global War Of Terror, the constitution is just a piece of paper. I’ve known that for years, but sometimes wax romantic. Humans holding power have long used “rule of law” sophistry to facilitate their crimes.
You show great self-respect, and respect for me through your conscientious comments. We are in agreement.
Truth and Honour
shrub said it's just a g-d piece of paper. that is one of the failings of the Constitution. There is no penalty, no sanctions for ignoring it. Along with ambiguity, leaving room for interpretation. Anyway constitutions in general mean nothing because they are typically ignored anyway.
Look at Liberia or the old constitution of the USSR.
In the end, "rule of law" is always nullified by humans holding power. As Madison noted, all humans holding power ought to be mistrusted.
The document hasn't failed sir, the humans administering it have failed and always will.
That is true. This is also true.
“But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.”― Lysander Spooner, https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/2095916
Where is the $380,000,000,000.00 or $380 Billion dollars we sent Ukraine??? Where??? Alina Habba and Pam Bondi please investigate kickbacks to Deep State Democrat politicians and Deep State RINO Republicans. God Bless President Trump. W. Manion, MDPHDJDMBA
Yes, Musk's remarks are spot on.
They are spot on Mike.
I served the country in the Army for 34 years. Some might call me a Patriot for that effort, maybe so. But it has zip to do with future performance.
Musk correctly called out the bullshit kelly perpetually projectile vomits at the people of the USA, he is obviously a shill for the mil-industrial complex and the massive over-reach of the leviathan of the federal government. For those unaware, he is also a delusional liberal lunatic. Kelly is now, officially a disgrace and his prior performance in un-contested airspace is irrelevant. In fact un-contested airspace is even far better than air supremacy in terms of an enemy without a dog they can put in the fight.
And one other really important thing, I live in Southern Arizona. Kelly did not win his "election" because it was a s_Election with massive mail in vote fraud and programmable machines.
Hey Dan, thank you for your service.
Anybody that can put up with the bureaucracy for that many years is a real Mensch in my book.
God gave me the Will to fight the bureaucracy, "OG". I've always sought to be an instrument of His Perfect Will. Let me be as clear as possible, IF NOT FOR HIM, I'd have never been able to stay in the fight that long. Not bragging, but by His Will I was able to accomplish many things at every level of the Army.
clinton, obama, and biden have done absolutely grave damage to DOD and the entire federal government as they have added bureaucracy after bureaucracy and filled them full of delusional ideologues who hate the USA and especially us. President Trump, a gift from God to us, is trying to undo it all. He has learned from his first term and the last 4 years what unchecked power has done to him and us. And he is coming with a vengeance after the corrupt, evil bastards. We have to give him every ounce of support we have in our blood.
I couldn't agree with this more.
War is for old men to make money off the deaths of the young. Grotesque.
just like one eyed jack makes money off sending our kids into harms way and doesn't blink an eye
Kelly is one more McCain who sold their souls at the crossroads for 15 minutes of Status.
Fact. Except it will be years and years of screwing the American people as an un-elected senator (small s because he doesnt deserve a capital "S".)
🥚🥚🥚actly! 👍
Kelly also sold his soul to be a Senator. A disgrace to the uniform.
Mark Kelly. Bought & Paid for.
And put in to office, unlawfully, with treason to hurt the USA, and to do the bidding of those who bought and paid for him - the globalists in and out of the USA.
and was a cheap buy
cause he wasn't worth much
Kelly was decorated for slaughtering under-equipped soldiers. Nothing to be proud about there. The real reason for going into Iraq is very dark. And Kelly's voting record will not win any rewards for him in eternity. BTW - I was an AF skypilot.
So. . . Dave.
What are your thoughts about all the "chemtrails" stuff?
Have you looked into it at all? seen the images of C17's with tanks inside, piping to the outside?
Thank you, Elon, for your comment! So many US citizens think the same, but we never hear this from our congressional representatives and other supposed leaders. Instead we hear about DEI BS and give us more money, but no solutions, and little to no help for US citizens.
I really hope he reads this and SEES your comment.
I second your comment Rosa! Excellent, Elon is RIGHT.
I agree with Elon. He is right on.
Then why's he still ban me for insisting ivermectin have human use? That "advocates suicide"?
When Kelly ran for Senate, his political signs around town included a message written in Chinese. Then it said, “Vote for Mark, or else”.
Interesting since the scandal at the time was that he was sold out to China, having conducted business there.
come on.
Seriously?
We should definitely stop funding the Ukraine war and we should also stop funding other wars around the world.
John you forgot to mention over 1 million civilians died in Iraq directly due to the United States. For what?
you might want to look up the first place special forces went upon arrival in the capital...
You mean the Iraq National Museum of Antiquities where they stole the ancient stone cuneiform tablets of intense interest to the CIA and, acting as agents for the anonymous uber-rich, they cherry-picked specific irreplaceable treasures like the Queen’s Tiara ?
Yes + more (occult things)...
It probably would have been better for the entire world had there been 2-3 million "civilians" killed. Lets never forget, they were equally involved in manning, equipping and sustaining the Iraqi military. I know you disagree, I could give a fuck, you didn't have to go over and fight them.
I am not sure we ever should have gone to Iraq, since they were NOT the 911 perps, BUT more to the point WERE and I emphasize WERE the Muslim counter balance to Iran m, and without Iraq to be the Muslim rival to Iran in Islam, Iran has basically assumed a very large role and become a Nuclear power, a major player in the Middle East, and a purveyor of terror in the world!
WithIraq in the picture, they could have been our uncooperative trump card!
You must be really young, or perhaps lack historical knowledge to not remember the 91 Persian Gulf war and everything which precipitated it? We didn't do then what we should have done, which is plow on through to baghdad and remove Saddam. So, 10 years later, we get to do it all again, but this time deal with more festering hate from the land which thrives on it.
Let’s put it this way, no Islamic state in the Middle East is our friend. They all want a Caliphate but are about as cohesive sect wise as Rand Paul, Schumer, and Sanders! Our best strategy has ALWAYS BEEN TO KEEP THEM FIGHTING AMONG THEMSELVES! Eliminating Saddam(Iraq) from the equation provided opening for Iran to be more prominent if they did not have Saddam as an adversary!
The US could have kept that cat in the bag, as we were NEVER GOING TO CONVERT THEM OR AFGHANISTAN to our way of thinking. Our strategy should have been to turn them against each other not make one immensely stronger, an foment more discontent in Afghanistan, again a dumb proposition which everyone in history has lost!
No not really. But ovomit and brandon giving Iran and afghanistan billions and billions sure did. And inviting them into our country was a "great" idea.
And FTR we don't need to convert them, just need to kill them until they figure it all out and decide it's not a good plan to fuck with us. Ask the Japanese and the Germans, the last time the military was really allowed to fight. When we didn't have pussies like clinton, ovomit, bush, and Resident Autopen Cabbage.
You keep missing the point…if we’d stayed home or truly limited our exposure the first time, the Sunny’s and Sikhs would be spending more time trashing each other than Israel and us; plus be a lot further from nuclear weapons! This is a much bigger picture ands strategy than just blocking their ass!
If not Iraq, then Saudi or any of the others.
I am not a diplomat, I have to go solve what the diplomats failed. I submit again, the entire middle east is as POTUS has said, an s'hole. And thanks to America haters like obama and the puppet masters who put him and Resident Autopen Cabbage in power, we now have them in our country and in positions of power over us (tlaib and omar, etc and judges who still are Canadian citizens running our corrupt courts.)
Civilians also includes the Old, Infirm, Sick and Children, Babies, Women, the Unborn,etc.! Were all of those Human Beings responsible too. Besides, they were fighting to defend their Home country. The whole thing was Senseless and Useless, and we were the Aggressors. Weapons of mass Destruction. What a Travesty! DAMN ALL WAR!
Here's what I will say. When you decide to deploy your military force, it is no longer a diplomatic exercise. It is, go in, kill everything necessary to set the conditions for the enemy to give up, unconditionally. If you don't do that, then you should have never sent the military to become what the diplomats were supposed to be, and do.
It is black and white, not grey scale.
Here is what I will say. My last Comment. War should be a result of Declaration of War by Congress, not by whatever Administration is in power at the time. Any War that is not declared is an Illegal War. BTW, the U. S. have issued 5 Declarations of War out of All the Mischief we have caused in our history. War should not be waged on Civilians. In fact, all care should be taken to avoid civilians. All war should be Avoided, not sought out and pursued. All of the Evils in the world take place in the Fog of War. Total War is the worst Abomination!! Civilian populations should Never be the Target. And they have been by this country. More is the Pity.
Here you go, read up on the War Powers Act and get a little more educated and less indoctrinated:
https://www.britannica.com/topic/War-Powers-Act
Actually, you need to read it. It was intended to Restrain the President from doing just what they have been almost ever since. Now, I’m through.
Agree.
Spot on!
Did you ever stop to question WHY the US was in Iraq to begin with? It’s not my fault you were stupid enough to “serve”….serve who or what is the question. SERVE THE RICH MEN IF YOU WANT. There was no draft. YOU put yourself in that situation. Iraq never posed a threat to the US any more than Vietnam, Libya, Syria, Yemen or IRAN. Don’t bother trying to play hero with me…
Yes, I did, not denying that.
That you disrespect that is your problem, not mine. But honestly I don't need your respect, you are part of the problem. No hero here.
But I see the picture you refuse to see.
Yes I disrespect people who participate in wars that have nothing whatsoever to do with protecting their own country. These ill-conceived military adventures have created millions of young muslim men who want to kill us, many of whom…thanks to Joe Biden…are now in the US.
Like I said Darlene, I don't give a fuck what you have to say whilst you sit there sipping your coffee in your warm comfy chair. Fuck you.
“Whilst” - REALLY. Americans do not use that term however Brits, Canadians, Aussies & Kiwis DO, lol! 🤣🤡😂
Same to you brother, you know nothing about me. You put yourself & your career out there. So your logic is that the statesmen & diplomats decide if the country goes to war? Not under the Constitution they don’t. Neither does the President. CONGRESS has that power. Don’t get so immature & nasty when someone dares to honestly responds to who you say you are. No one is under any obligation ethically, morally or legally to follow orders that are illegal. Congress never declared war on Iraq…Colin Powell lied at the UN backed up by that smarmy lying George Tenant. You have to live with the moral implications of your choices just as I and all of us do. If someone attacked us - I have no qualms about defending us. That as you know never happened. Moreover I believe in karma. The United States and its citizenry will likely reap the whirlwind over these pointless lost wars. I’m not happy about that. I did everything within my power to prevent that from happening. Can you?
rich men north of Richmond...
It’s an UN winnable war!!! It has become a huge grifting reality. Why should we care about ukraines border when we are not fixxing our own southern border? Why send young men to die for a country that is Pandora’s box of corruption. Russia said no nato missiles in Ukraine. Ukraine has bombed its own people. Glad Elon is speaking truth to a senator
Irregardless of his credentials the facts are end this war and stop pretending it’s a noble cause. The only winners are the insatiable deep state that profits.
Thank you so much for posting this! It appears that we have a lot of people in the world and the US who can't think. Thankfully, Elon is not one of them.
