I promise not to communicate via my phone after sitting down. One of my pet peeves as well. <br /><br />Have a great day, sir.

The parents and grandparents—anti-war liberals—are, he says, not thrilled. Gotta love those rebellious kids.<br /><br />My own grandson is now serving in admin at P.I. He did his boot camp at S.D. <br /><br /><br /> Then there’s “Bob’s List.” That’s a list, growing ever longer, of people who, in a just world, Bob would be given an opportunity to shoot.<br /><br />I have one of those. I never share it with anyone. I don't need some fed kicking in my door.<br /><br />Do you think Obama would send illegal immigrants back if we let him send an automatic rifle with each one?<br /><br />We could solve problems in both Countries. Arm the common Mexicans and overthrow their corrupt government. We did it a couple hundred years ago. It worked pretty well until we got all of the communist "Czars" in without so much as a how about that from the Senate. <br /><br />Speaking of fire in boot camp. I remember back in the days we were in, the drill instructors would knock the shit out of you if you screwed up. Now the recruits have a stress card so the D.I.'s can't yell at them. My grandson that went through last year called it the pussy card. He makes me proud.Robert Fowlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03475193874676131196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362663422037727028.post-18273269382673662612012-07-01T10:52:35.742-05:002012-07-01T10:52:35.742-05:00Great post today.

Hmmm, is it because many have held off until the problem got really bad and they really needed the help? Some of the new wounded warriors are getting 100% disability and are working at nice cushy civil servant jobs. What's wrong with this picture? I'm a 15 year vet and very offended by this premature jumping on the free lunch wagon.Sharon Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178652815840919077noreply@blogger.com
