It's been some 5 years since my eldest joined up and he's done well, made Sergeant, turned his life around, no small thing. But you know, when I told all three of you readers that he'd enlisted one Anon commented, probably from England or Canada, I didn't check, words to this effect, "You're proud now, idiot Nazi, but you can congratulate yourself when he comes home with his legs blown off."
Wow, what a cruel thing to say to a Father who's son's signed up to serve his country and potentially put his life on the line for our defense. OK, it's the internet and of course I didn't reply, but it still hurts, and here's the thing.
Having a goodly pride in your country and people and stepping up to the plate to defend that is a virtue, and I'll defend this virtue all day long, as would my eldest and many others like him. We're patriots. Of course such a thing is nonsense and worse than nonsense to the nihilist asset-strippers and their shill dupes who've been wrecking our country for decades to fill their own already deep pockets. But question.
Who, beloved NWO Illuminati Trans WEF Corporatist Bolshevik BIS Jeckyll Island Overlords, will you get to oversee your total takeover of everyone apart from yourselves? The Army? Mindful of this, you may have noticed the UK pretty much abolished its once mighty Army, Navy and Air Force in favor of lots and lots of police and cameras.
Oops, right at the point that we're fixing, baying, gusting, shouting to fight industrial scale war with Russia and China. Against evil Putler and lesser Satan Xi. Whoa, shurely shome mishtake. (big drinks all 'round, another G&T? Carry on, ahem, Ed.) Perhaps a 45-47 tenure can wrest us away from the neocon death grip. Or perhaps they'll keep on coming on and trust the loyalty of the men with the guns to further the Rainbow Project. Good luck with that, I guess we'll see.
In the meanwhile, good work, kid. Apparently the little guy in the photo is Nepalese and a "good soldier." Well there's most certainly precedent for that.

I hope Anon's chains rest lightly upon his shoulders, and that he plucks his head out of his.....well, you know where......before it's too late.
ReplyDeleteWild, I'm hoping for a commission.
ReplyDeleteHe has the ability to do it. A feller I know "decided to get serious about it" got a degree and went to OCS with 12 and retired as a full bird after 34 years.
DeleteRight on, Wild.
DeleteGod bless and protect our military.
ReplyDeleteYou all be safe and God bless also.
Yes indeed, Linda.
DeleteReply to Anon: Your opinion may be important, but only to you.
ReplyDeleteWSF, what a two-bit piece of sh*t.
DeleteDang it, wasn't quite finished when that posted up. Anyway, this guy got his commission after 12 or 14 years and retired after 34 as a full bird colonel. It appears to me the young SGT has that in him, if he wants to. That's the key part, the want to spirit.
ReplyDeleteIt can be done, Wild, most certainly, but as you say, have to really want it. Well, his call.
DeleteSome people are just a waste of oxygen.
ReplyDeleteJim, it was probably just some late night trolling, but still.
DeleteLSP, this came to mind: "Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake."
ReplyDeleteRight on point, DOS.
DeleteThree strong Americans right there, proud of all of 'em.
ReplyDeleteWell done, LSP!
Thanks for that, Sarge! I appreciate it. And good for those kids too. Good work.
DeleteThe kind of people that post vitriol against those who serve, will be the first to come on bended knee when real threats appear in their doorstep.
ReplyDeleteThey attack the military, police and even first responders (fire/ambulance/rescue) without any conscious thought about what happens when you really need such support. Pay them no heed except to note where they are concentrated, I think you will find that it is mostly deep blue brainwashed zones (cities, universities and even workplaces where no physical goods are produced).
In my experience working 40 years in private industry that make physical "things", the mindset is singularly missing where there are actual production and profit metrics.
Congratulations to your son, he is earning the respect which he is now due.
Tetrapod, I think they're ing in an illusory world, but at some point reality will rear its head.
DeleteBeware the thudding hooves and gore stained horn of the rainbow unicorn.
And thanks for the congrats, I'll pass that on.
Spitting image. Well done! And, thank you y'all. :)
ReplyDeleteClearly my son, GenX! He got the tall gene tho...
DeleteYou've got much to be proud of in that lad.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ed. He's done well (LL was a help, btw).
DeleteThe inclusion of kukris into their basic kit will make them more lethal.
ReplyDeleteExactly, LL, FORCE LETHAL.
