Might have been a squirt gun and he was trying to put the clown out.

If he was active duty, why is he wearing a set of Army Surplus Store cammies?

It's so comforting that the US military of which he, Austin and Miley are examples, are on our side. /s

Curious why I can’t find his rank in any of the articles. It says officer which really makes me question the screening process for the Air Force.

“Boy the Air Force sure has changed since I was an officer.”

Same here. Didn’t read the article. Hope they let him burn and then kicked the ashes into the gutter. Even by the time I retired around 15 years ago, I felt like a relic of a different age. When I started flying, we still had Vietnam vets flying with us. One Colonel on staff was a former POW with limited mobility in one arm. They drilled into us not to let another war be fought like that.

But I think the warrior ethos has been sucked out of the military and society. One family member works at McDonalds. He says most of his coworkers cannot lift a 50 pound box of supplies and most spend more time on their phones than working - including the managers. He figures if we’re ever invaded, the only ones who might put up much of a fight would be the people over 50.

It has reached the point he wonders if someone is putting something in the water supply. I told him it was just the effect of public schools.

At a state university in North Carolina - where people used to have brains and souls:

“Unfortunately, the number of truly rigorous and enlightening courses available to UNC students continues to dwindle. In their place, the course catalog is increasingly filled with postmodern, intersectional, and critical theory-based offerings. Why bore English majors with lectures on Jane Austen or William Shakespeare when you can instead provide them with courses such as English 687, “Queer LatinX Environmentalisms”?...

Islam and Sexual Diversity” is offered by the religious studies department. “Diversity and Inclusion at Work” is available at the business school. Interdisciplinary studies students can take “Increasing Diversity in STEM Research.”

A search for “equity,” meanwhile, leads to illuminating courses such as “Decolonizing Maternal and Child Health,” a seminar that “provides … an opportunity to examine key theories and qualitative methodologies that advance anti-racist, abolitionist, intersectional feminist, and emancipatory scholarship for health equity and reproductive justice.”

We don’t make freak scum like this mental case without work. Our high schools are just as infested. It has taken WORK to raise a generation of self-hating pansy freaks!

Better to do that, then fly an aircraft full of troops or munitions and kill other Americans.

One less mouth to lie, but I am horrified for his family and friends.

The demonrats tried to hold Trump guilty for the decisions crazies made based on their interpretations of Trump’s words, even to the point of accusing him of insurrection.

Who will hold the demonrats accountable for this man’s death based on their untrue rhetoric?
