I see some dots on the radar

Post by REDinFL »

"Lieutenant, I see some dots on the radar. Looks like a flight of planes."

"Ah, just some seagulls, or a flight of B-17s coming into Hickham."

And, they kept coming.

"Hey, there's a big red disc on the wing."

"No way."

And the bombs fell.

Arizona, Oklahoma, and many others. Schofield barracks.

Quite a Sunday morning, December 7, 1941.

And how soon some have forgotten,

"Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy"

Patriotism is at an all time low. I cannot help but see the connections to schools and university brainwashing and indoctrinating children. That was the plan all along. And it was done masterfully. I remain hopeful we can recover our great country but I have to admit that hope is fading fast

I will keep all of our service men and women in my thoughts. My wife and I are retired disabled veterans and we will always be ready to serve this country. Outdated and unpopular as that be to some aside.

Semper Fi my brothers.

I may be wrong, and I hope that I am... but, I think every generation feels the same about the upcoming batch of young adults.

During a war many pacifists will refuse to fight; pacifists will refuse to take part in any activity that might support the war."
However, nowadays, the military pays MORE, has better benefits, better VA facilities and reenlistment bonuses)

Thanks for that. I was going to put the text up tomorrow but you saved me.

I am not a Roosevelt fanboy but, that was leadership, no, LEADERSHIP. Compare that to what we have now.
