Guard Dog

You are right, he did serve. He wasn’t drafted. That was where I remembered from, it was a list of presidents who served after draft. LBJ volunteered. My mistake.

The first two are holding Chinese knock off‘s of the AK. The next guy and the second one over are holding an M4. Don’t know about the rest.

Let me know when you find some. No one in politics today wants to admit they were wrong or may have made a mistake. It’s always someone else’s fault. or like you said they’re too old and set in their ways

Reagan, both Bushes, Truman. Not Johnson. He was too young for World War I and too old for World War II. He never served. The US military was very small during his prime years.

If I were him I would STFU. He was the one that negotiated the withdrawal and put a firm date so the Taliban would know when to attack. He keeps saying he would’ve done it differently, and maybe he would have. It certainly could have and should have been done very differently. Not the least of which was not abandoning millions upon millions of dollars worth of weapons, aircraft, vehicles, and other military supplies that now make the Taliban the best armed band of terrorists in the world. The logistical failures of Biden‘s withdrawal cannot be overstated. Of course none of that means Trump would’ve done a better job.

Kennedy in ‘63 both in SE Asia and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I believe he was referring to the Afghan military. Biden said they wouldn’t fight. They did fight and have been fighting and losing for a while now. But then it turns out half of their leader ship was already Taliban and the other half packed up a bunch of US dollars and fled. that whole thing was a mess. Has been for 20 straight years. The only way to fix it would be to travel back in time and get out in 2002 after the Taliban were deposed.

I’ve always said I thought it was important for the US president to have military experience. If you’re going to be the commander in chief of the US military you should know a little bit about it. It’s not a requirement by any means. Nor should it be. Just something to consider when casting your vote.

The best line of this entire debacle came from a man named Tom Tugendhat, a British MP: "to see their commander in chief president Joe Biden call into question the courage of men I fought with, to claim they ran. It's shameful. Those who have never fought for the colors they fly should be careful about criticizing those who have."

You’re probably right about that first part

There is that.

Watched “blood red sky” on Netflix last night. I’ll summit up for you, vampires on an airplane. It wasn’t bad though. I found the English voice dubbing a little annoying. I wish they would just put it in German with subtitles. It was a German movie.

I guess now he can go back to being a sports broadcaster, which I thought he was pretty good at, and being a full-time philanthropist, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur. To say nothing of the fact he’s married to miss universe so whatever happens next I don’t think his life will suck. I’ve got nothing against the guy. I can’t say I was terribly invested in his success though. If he made it good for him if not well good try. I wonder, if his devout Christianity would’ve been received with such open hostility if he was a devout Muslim? I suspect everybody who was down on him for it would’ve been kissing his ass then. I guess some things it’s just cool to hate. It sounds stupid because it is stupid. But people are stupid.

So Tim Tebow has been shown the door by the Jaguars. What he was trying to do was virtually impossible so the outcome shouldn’t have come as a surprise. A 34-year-old guy who has not played a down a football in five years trying to make it in a position he had never played before. The thing that puzzles me is why does his failure seem to make everybody so happy? I really have never understood the animus against that guy.

LOL, it doesn’t matter. Either way the answer is the same: yes.

Not surprised at all. Savages will be savage.

Meet the new Taliban. Same as the old Taliban.

CNN documentary on Preppers coming I heard about this a while back. Figured it would be a total hatchet job. Maybe not.

Do you know what a good day is? When the Tampa Bay Rays win and the Boston Red Sox lose twice!
