- It goes without question - I would fight for this country - even at my age if called. My Grand-Parents were immigrant's that came over after WWI. They raised their Families where Freedom was unknown in 3rd world elements. Their Son's and my Father's were in WWI, Korea & WWII and my brother Larry & I enlisted during the Cuban Crisis and then onto Viet Nam. - Our duty was to protect & serve our Country from foreign elements and help those who were suffering from abusive actions in their homelands. We wanted to protect our homelands - as well as our Friends around the globe. - We know what Freedom means and the sacrifices that come from getting it. I was against those who would call us baby killers back then. - We had Draft Dodgers - Coke Heads and Marijuana smokers in those days. Still do from what I hear. Yea they had Parties in farm fields - while many men went to war. - Today we are killing our own - kids killing kids. What the hell caused all this? Racial issues still haunt a few - but they have to learn to get through it. - All men are brother's under the skin - they bleed and die just like us. They have heart & are dedicated to prove their manhood and their desire to live where-ever in America. They get false news from many even today - which is a pity! - We have the South versus the North. Still confronting one another. And race is still an issue - it's the inability to get to know one-another. Some of my best friends were men of color. One saved me from being killed - you can't ask for more that. - Corruption in Government is ongoing. Many in Office do not belong there - but bought their way in from deep pocket sources. Divisions in our Political Houses are so bad that nothing gets passed - or done - without considering the facts at hand. - It's Party versus Party - it's a dead heat and a system full of contradictions and misbehavior. - The competition around the globe is terrible of late. - More and more insecurity - is also driving the waring elements and now considering higher grade nuclear weapons. - Dictators still exist - corruption is rapid worldwide - and the innocent still pay the price in all those areas. The People in Charge are cruel - and in many cases - the People of those lands are treated like animals. - Humanity doesn't exist in many foreign lands even to this day. - If the Lord Almighty can't stop it - war's will continue! - I'd say that 3 to 6% of our Nation suffers from over-zealous reactions. The radicals and the so-called drum-beaters trying to take over our government - it came close during the insurrection! We cannot tolerate another such maneuver on our Capitol. The Flag must fly but - only for unity - rather than displacement. - HC - when you & I gone - who will standup for our system and will it be altered by confliction led elements? Hence we will become something other - then it was meant to be? That bothers me. - We old timers remember the Good-Old-Days when the Flag really meant something. Today I wonder - how long it will stand? - I'm really worried that Congress & our Future President's - will they dismantle much of what it means to be American's? - How did all this come to fruition? Do we still pump our own oil? Or do we buy it all now? Was it because of fracking which was possibly allowing sub-surface plate movements? Were they afraid that it may - or could trigger - earthquakes or volcano eruptions? - Gas went up 70c a gallon last week. $20 gets you about a quarter tank of gas. I recall in early 60's I went to a Ryan Gas Station and it was 19c a gallon - can you believe that! - Enough BS until the next post or whenever! Venting help's to bring the issues forward - rather than just to accept the reality of all our issue's today! -
