Apologized elsewhere.
Sorry.

I wrote the wrong name while thinking of the right one.
Old timer’s problem like saying she went to Walgreen instead of to Wal-Mart.

Bidet* wants an excuse to declare martial law.
Big shock when we old vets refuse to disarm

[Vermont Lt]

Hey have to expand their draft because they have had negative population growth for years now. They expand their draft because they don’t have the population.

[Justa]

Rooting for communist armed conquest as usual.

“Old timer’s problem like saying she went to Walgreen instead of to Wal-Mart.”

I know what you mean. I’m in my 70s, and I have done that.

Thanks.

George Burns had some good ones:

I am glad I am not Chinese living in China. Can you imagine 1500 million people pooping every day?

[frank ballenger]

Good one.😃

I think one can legitimately hope and pray for the survival of the American Republic while at the same time being of the belief that the American Empire simply can't collapse soon enough.

[Dr. Sivana]

that’s quite ok. It turns out BOTH Crosbys had roles in Adam-12

[Captain Walker]

What I want to know is why is the west so desperate for WWIII?

Because if Putin comes through on his plans to create a currency tied to the gold standard, then the American Empire (as well as its push for all things LBTQWERTY) collapses.

Liberalism needs money, and if the US loses that, then our international LGBTQWERTYism is lost as well.

[ansel12]

We have an empire, and you want the Communists to bring us down by overcoming us internationally?

That is worse than merely nutty, how do you think Red China would improve the world by taking us down and becoming the world’s lone superpower?

[Mean Daddy]

My grandfather was in his mid to late 30’s with three kids and a wife when he was drafted to a non-combat position in the Philippines in WWII.

There used to be a custom at Free Republic, that those posting links to stories on Debka would add (Debka) to the title, so that the 99% of Freepers who had learned to discount everything Debka published, could tell from the title that the post linked to Debka, and not waste their time clicking on it.

It would be appreciated if you adopted that practice when posting links to Armstrong Economics.

[Manuel OKelley]

Ditto

And as far as I’m concerned anyone trying to enforce conscription should need replacement too

[Manuel OKelley]

Spoke with an acquaintance of mine that was a former intelligence appointee (required confirmation position) who is near certain that China will be tits up and either in major expansionist war to distract populace or major civil war by end of summer

[Manuel OKelley]

As it should be

[Manuel OKelley]

Sounds a bit extreme but I’m not going to argue that you are wrong

[Captain Walker]

China is already here.

If the US was speaking softly and carrying a big stick, then an argument could be made that the Empire should prevail.

But we're not doing that. We've been waging war on weaker nations, promoting hedonism, and sticking our beak where it doesn't belong; it's clear that our government needs an opposing force to keep it in check.
