One of my lifelong friends lives near Frisco, TX. His tank was the first tank to enter Iraq in the liberation of Kuwait. His platoon killed 29 tanks, and an idiot in one of the tanks in his platoon nearly shot the turret off the command tank.
He literally got out and beat the crap out of the gunner on that tank, but never wrote him up. That’s the way he is.
I too am a Northern Californian. I’m from Martinez, if you know where that is. Refinery town nearby Danville. The reprehensible George Brown is the representative for that district, and has been since the 80’s.
Sorta, kind of. I'm originally from Monterey. Fort Ord, to be precise, but good old Bubba Clinton closed it down and sold it off to some left-wing university for a song.
Hundreds of houses built to military specs (with taxpayer dollars) now lie fallow there, with trees growing through the roofs. That's my birthplace.
