11. I have always felt sorry
Thu Nov 27, 2025, 12:00 PM
Thursday

for the 58,000 who were lied to and gave their lives, and the countless soldiers and sailors that were maimed or disabled strictly for the Military Industrial Complex extreme profiteering and for benefit of politicians .......

And I was always deeply angered that none of the upper crust's kids ever had to serve in Vietnam. Countless numbers like Trump with his bone spurs, etc etc etc.....
The extremely few that did serve, were always assigned to cushy duty, Stateside, like WBush, who didn't even have to show up for his duty.....
