Woody was a remarkable man. I’ve had the honor of meeting him twice.

I don’t know if we have people with the metal of Woody anymore. The men of WWII were exceptional and loved our country . Would defend it with their lives ,without thinking about it. Now half the country hates our country, and wouldn’t lift a finger to defend it.

If the Chicoms invaded tomorrow, easily half the country would side with them.

“The men of WWII were exceptional and loved our country.”

White Christian Nationalists?

A better country.

[LouAvul]

Yes, America was a Christian nation and we were much better for it. When they (the demon possessed whores and pedophiles) exiled Christ, it created a spiritual vacuum. And, nature abhors a vacuum.

A dying America is the result. Shame on our leaders back in the 60s and 70s for allowing this.

Now half the country hates our country, and wouldn’t lift a finger to defend it.

Honest question…what are we defending now? Islam? LGBTQI rights? Transgender grooming of our children? Leftist atheism forced on kids in public schools? Foreign wars for Blackrock and Vanguard?

I'm pretty sure the MOH miniature on the garrison cap isn't authorized (but I shore as hell ain't asking him to take it off!).

Very nice on meeting him.

[beaversmom]

I agree. We’ve brainwashed a generation or two to hate this country and the people that built it. Sad for England as my mom is from there. And sad for my beloved US. I’m just going to keep watching about these brave people of yesteryear to give me inspiration. Live in the past.
