There are still a lot of good soild brave men in the USA.
It is just that the progressives and old media want you to think that they are all Queer and snow flakes.
So they push that agenda.
When I see some aspects of our military, I feel much the same way as you do. There is still a spark of the real American spirit there.
Then, when I see other aspects of the military, I can see that beginning in 1993, there has been civilian oversight that has done all in its power to emasculate and destroy the military with the social engineering agendas of various administrations.
And they have worked hard to extinguish that spark, but it lives on. I hope when the time comes, that our military will step up as LTC Cole did as a young man back in 1942.
So long ago.
