I was talking to my 96 year old father yesterday.
He said when they sent him to Europe to fight in 1942 they told him
it was to preserve our way of life. He said 300,000 died doing that.
He thinks that we’ve surrendered our way of life without a fight and
we’re nothing but a bunch of pussies that don’t appreciate shit.
Can’t say as I disagree.

Freedoms we as a Nation willingly gave away through inattention to the internal threats the Nation faced...

Today's kids are selfish and spoiled. In my generation, we looked out for our elders. We helped out with single moms who's husbands were either at war or dead from war. Today's kids rush the store, buying everything they can...no concern for anyone but themselves. It's shameful the way Americans behave these days”......

Parents have created this generation in raising kids without regard for others...including within their own family.... as has the educational instructors placed within our schools and universities.
