The Top 40

Sorry, no one gets to fight for me, that is MY job.
Anybody claiming to so do is an outright liar.
And they better watch out cause the first bullet out of my gun goes right in the front of their head. Don't get in my way, and I won't get in yours. capiche?

"against all enemies, foreign and domestic." was not added to the oath by accident. The enemies of our nation, both within and without, are gathering momentum. Stand firm. Be prepared. Pray for America.

You'll see the whites of their eyes quite soon...

You mean you want us to do the job that you voters failed to do?

That's exactly what those willing to tolerate King George said, "Pappy."

I forget - did King George run in the election of '72 or '76?

Ouch, Pappy, although I think the point of the post is the background of the image, not the foreground (it's not actually about you). Does this mean we can count on you to stay in the barracks if a US intramural bullet catching contest starts?

WW II was not fought on our continent because the enemy simply didn't have the ability to bring the war to us in any meaningful way. WW III WILL be fought on this continent and the millions and tens of millions of civilain deaths will be your family and friends and their family and friends. The only way to prevent WW III is to deal with hot spots and tyrants quickly and "over there". Once it gets out of hand and once it gets "over here" it will be too late.

Remember where we came from: "…when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government."

It's not a very long train yet, but there are a whole bunch of cars being jostled in the yard by hard-working switch engines.

That illustration depicts the unthinkable. The unthinkable must be thought and faced and understood, lest we be deluded about the necessity for action.

After the last 5 years, I think the light at the end of the tunnel is more likely the headlight of a fully loaded and armed troop train. Lock and load.

GWTW: Call me when the Russians sink a passenger liner or bomb Pearl Harbor. Until then, however, I'm going to pass on your generous offer of another War to End All Wars.

Before Russia controlled the Crimea there were few if any ethnic Russians there. Russia moved them all out and sent them to gulags and remote cities where they starved to death. Russia killed 50-100 million people in the last 100 years. They didn't attack us they attacked their nieghbors. But most of this happened when your nieghbors were a few days to a few weeks march away. Today you can get anywhere on earth in less the 24 hours we are all nieghbors. Your confidence that Russia won't harm us is based on the simple fact that since WW II ended we went to great effort to dissuade Russia and other nations from harming us. When we reduce those efforts history shows that the result will be somene who wants what we have will try to take it from us. As I said WW III will be fought in America and almost every country in the world. This is not the time to let down our guard. I do not want another war I want us to remain strong and thus prevent war. I have not been in favor of any war since WW II and I have been around all that time and even spent 20 years in the military during the entire Vietnam war. I do NOT want war, that's why we must always be so prepared for war that no enemy would ever consider it.
