From the same people that cannot define woman, they are now equating 'genocide' to losing a war. Pssst . . . leftists, that NOT the definition of genocide. But the intent behind the now standard chant of pro-Hamas leftists of 'From the River to the Sea' is a call for conducting genocide against Israeli citizens.
I enlisted just after the Vietnam War and we were STILL being called baby killers by so-called GOOD liberals. It's ironic that their ideological descendants are now supporting the Dem Party politicians that apparently WANT to kick off WWIII. But, yeah . . . if it were not for double standards then the average leftist would be in a standard deficit.
You and I may have crossed paths...I was in Basic Trianing (US Army) in the summer of 1976, the year I graduated High School. The clowns that have never seen the REAL World, like the barbed wire and gun towers on the East German and Czech borders or the insanity of East Berlin or be along the DMZ in Korea are clueless.... especially when they talk about communism. My neighbor was in the Navy during Vietnam and was in the Mid-east.... DON'T talk about "islamophobia"to him.
I dithered for a while longer, but went in in 1978. Navy man here; and nuclear missile technician and boomer-style submarines. I spent most of my time submerged and dipping ice water out of bilges while at sea under the arctic and then the other half of my time stateside in technician classes. In retrospect it was a surrealistic experience.
The 'baby killer' issue did arise, however, during C school training months when we had to prove to the satisfaction of a psychiatric panel that, yes, if the order came down to launch nuclear missiles we would do our duty. I wish today's radical leftists to go through some of that stuff. It would toughen them up just a bit and at least familiarize them with the difference between their fantasies and cold, hard reality.
Or at least it would have as all the branches of military service were back then. Lord only knows what would happen today under the WOKE D.E.I. standards modern military service settings.
A metal tube under water? I get claustrophobic in a bathtub!!! (hmmm...wonder if that's why my nick-name is 'Stinky'?)
You were part of the ELITE!
I was basically a REMF in field units for 9 years - medic in Combat Engineers & Field Med Battalions (think MASH but no Loretta Swit-no Klingers either!) them went into M.I. (no, not Mexican Infantry) and then was in an Armored Cavalry Squadron (Recon) -APCs, Tanks, Gunships, Hueys, Kiowas-you name it, we had it - or we knew where we could steal it!
Thanks for your Service! (I figure only Vets, Active-duty, Cops, and Fire-Fighters can say that and have any clue what it means) Got a Nephew in USAF now making a career of it - his Late Grandfather/my Brother-in-Law, was a door gunner on a Huey in Vietnam in the 1st Cav so he is continuing the tradition
BTW: This long ass meme I am adding is MY take on those folks.
NOW for my COFFEE-JUAN VALDEZ FOR EL PRESIDENTE!!!)
Hah! Your background indicates that you were pretty much elite yourself. The odd deal is that claustrophobia was not an issue with me back then but I have flashes now of occasionally breaking out in a cold sweat even inside an elevator car.
Nah, I was a REMF (Rear Echelon Mother F*cker) in those units - not so Rear Echelon as to sit at a desk with no mud on my boots but still...
The cold sweat could be related to your service, especially if there were any close calls while underwater. Might want to check on that...we all carry some baggage from the service...I got two knees with no cartilage left, a collar bone that that looks like it was put back together by a chimp, and a liver that just barely survived to come up for air 31 years ago (ya get what I mean).
Oh yeah. I'm in and out of the V.A. hospital so much that everyone knows my name. It's sort of like the Cheers television show and ol' Norm; except without the beer.
The UN, the International Criminal Courts, and the rest of the sane world are calling it a genocide. But you think you control the narrative? Pathetic.
