"The best way to honor our war dead....

...is to resolve NOT to make any more of them."

A quote I heard a number of years ago. I wish The Dumb Felon/Traitor would take it to heart; that'd be impossible, since he has no heart.

I think my granddad was the only one in our family who was in the military. Served in France in WW I and never talked about it. He sent my gran (then his fiancée, I think) a pewter box filled with French hankies and a book of love poems (very Victorian), which are my only keepsakes of him--and the war. Had to have been quite an experience for a farm boy from Iowa.

That is one WHALE of a cautionary tale - in a single image.

We ALL wind up resting on THEIR laurels, all of them won the hard way.

by electing someone who called them suckers and losers. That rat bastard is enjoying the freedom and democracy they died for.

May he rot in hell for all eternity.

Hell is too good for that evil basturd. But I, like the rest of the world, will rejoice when he takes the Stygian ferry ride.
