I’ve been saying for years that veterans are going to turn the tide in the troubles to come.
The young today are mostly useless. They are utterly dependent upon their electronics and many of their “friends” are available only on Facebook. They are unaware of how the real world works, especially after a lifetime of communist indoctrination in the public schools. But they aren’t stupid.
Sooner or later, they’re going to chafe under the yoke of tyranny. Shortages or new regulations or some other kind of restriction will annoy them, until they hear the word “liberty” and learn its meaning. Then they will become as pissed as the older veterans are now, if not more so.
When that day comes, when their awakening arrives, the old veterans will come to the fore. There is always a need for sergeants, of whatever age, to train the young and provide both discipline and guidance. That day is coming.
My oldest son made Eagle during his last year in Boy Scouts, along with 11 other young men.
My youngest son made Eagle during his last year in Boy Scouts, along with 7 other young men.
Our Troop produces more Eagles each year than any other in our Council.
Sorry you’re not around to come to a meeting. It might alter your perspective.
