until most of the people that fought fascists died off to perpatrate their plan to install it in America.

The bastages had no skin in the game, only a strong greed that made them think they deserved to be wealthy.

Don't ever forget, our fathers and mothers, uncles and aunts were but kids. They saw horrors beyond words.

They had skin in the game and wouldn't put up with the bullshit being pushed by these people. That's why they didn't carry weapons of war in the country they returned to. They'd seen enough.

and before he died he asked me why everyone had to wear a hat or brag of their service. Aside from a picture on the wall from his 18 year old Navy basic class, you would never know he was even in the service at the worst time to be there.
