Rick Perry is the only active duty veteran in the field. He loves his country, and that’s never going to change your mind because you don’t respect that.
No, I don’t respect his service at all. I could have flown on a C-130 he piloted. He and I served our country at about the exact same time in the early 1970’s.
I accept your apology.
Anyone who straps a T-38 to their ass is a hero, IMO. I know, I did it too. I am a combat vet from Iraq and I’ll vouch for C-130 crews. My roommate from college was one of ‘em. A good friend of mine died in a C-130 over Iraq. They saw as much or more crap as I did.
