Thanks for your Dad.Hey Hoss?
I'd Bet they done it on their Own Free Proud Will!
I Know My Dad Got in Too Early/Young when He Joined the Military!
Now My Next Question:
How many of Our Younger Generation on their Own Free Will are Gonna Sign Up?
I Do Expect Some Answers!
That right there was one of the generations that made this country great! They chose to serve to protect the world and did their damn jobs in spite of the danger they faced. It's up to each one of us to step up and do our damn jobs to in November. We have to purge the threat from within our shores to save the Republic for our kids and grand kids and fellow American's.
You have to end the silence and be vocal about why you're voting for Trump. make sure you point out the threat he faced from within and the threat we face today across this country with rioting, looting and destruction of American;s property. They disrespect our fellow American's and our country with their actions of lawlessness. The right to peaceful protest is reserved for all American's what we've seen is hardly that and that's clear with every picture of businesses burning and the destruction and harm they did to innocent people.
Courage is the LEAST common of all human traits. Courage, love of country along with masculinity has slowly been bred out of our nation. I think the Chinese could be rolling up main street and only the 50, 60, 70's year old"s would fight.
And offtrail, we didn't fight WWII to dominate the world and become king of the mountain. We fought WWII to free the world of oppression and give other countries the opportunity to be free. And then we helped rebuild what they tried to destroy and gave it back to them.
That's why I'm proud of my country and will never disrespect our flag or kneel during the National Anthem. America is bigger than any individual and bigger than just a chunk of real estate. We fight and defend freedom so others can have the same, not to dominate.
I noticed this picture today. Stopped for a while and looked over all these young men who were about to do something I could never image doing myself not my children. Yet these men stepped off the boat and faced whatever laid before them. The sacrifice and losses encountered by so many. Toughest generation in recent history IMO. Today I look at what we have happening ànd bow my head sharing it in dismay. So many for so long have lived a sheltered life fed by a silver spoon because these young men sacrificed all with I guess many not seeing their tomorrow. I've often wondered what greatness in people was lost by the greed of those who tried dominating our world in WW2.
offtrail you seem like a nice guy but it's time to get the sleepers out of your eyes. Trump is treating our allies fairly because being a businessman instead of a politician he clearly sees what's going on and just how we've been picking up the tab for others for too long. most of those other nations are highly prosperous in their own right. the fact we've been protecting them form Russian expansion since the end of WWII is part of the problem. We helped them rebuild their nations after the war and spent hundreds of billions in the process.
You need to stop believing the hype and false stories and wake up. WE saved them and in some cases defeated them then helped save them so we've contributed more than our fair share for decades and decades and decades. It's easy to make us pick up the tab and increase our deficit it took courage and conviction to make them sit up at the table and carry more of THEIR LOAD. Let that sink in THEIR LOAD. Those allies knew exactly what they were doing and sliding the check over to us for their expenses.
Reflect back on how Trump was going to ruin the economy, how he was going to lose jobs, how he couldn't bring back manufacturing jobs because Obama said so, how he would fail to help Americans and how he colluded with Russia.......... Gee think somebody was painting a true picture of what he's done so far......He improved every single one of those items over Obama's fake news extravaganza.........AND HE DIDN'T COLLUDE WITH RUSSIA..........THEY DID....... IN MANY WAYS THAT COST YOUR COUNTRY THAT YOU STILL HAVEN'T SEEN THE EFFECTS OF. How many recent predictions have been wrong about COVID death rates and shutting down to survive.......Florida didn't along with a few other RED STATES and guess what THEY WERE RIGHT!!
So offtrail open your eyes and stop believing the propaganda and get back on the damn trail. WE can't make it any clearer that that !!
Obviously you don't listen to the POTUS....
There were a bunch of them that were drafted along with those that signed up.
And yes the 18 was the draft age. I get a kick out of those that never had to worry about the draft.
And yes they served. As my grandson likes to remind me "Thanks grandpa for going before so we can follow after".
Boskee,
I know we have some tuff decisions to make in the coming months. I am just trying to get some insight from my mellow fellow sportsman, so I can make the most rational decision. This might be the most important election in modern history.
Even though you didn't have to, Thanks for explaining yourself.
I will take you at your word as a hunter. I have to admit you write some powerful stuff that draws one in. I just had to question the amount of time spent here, and I guess i can relate. I have free time this week and a lot of it was spent on here.
There are still kids like that today. You’ll find them out fixing fences or moving irrigation pipe. You’ll find them working as busboys in little diners or mowing lawns. The media and the world would have us believe that it’s all pure craziness and laziness in our world. But I’ve met young men who would jump at the chance to save the world again if it were needed. WW2 was an incredible generation and we all owe them a tremendous debt. Along with Korea and Vietnam and all veterans. I tip my hat to all of your dads and grand dads who served. But just know that there are a lot of kids today who could toe the line if needed. I get the privilege to meet them in 4H and the old scouting program. They are top shelf
