Oct 2014

is/was a spoiled little rich kid who was also an awol coward. Drunk, high and partying while myself and hundreds of thousands more visited the war of my generation. I have nothing but disdain for that waste of human flesh/user of oxygen. Romtwit, darth and many other 'leaders' are that in name only. No respect here, NONE. I do respect a commander-in-chief that acknowledges our honored dead, WITH A SALUTE. And that C-17 landing late at night, during king georges reign, with all those flag draped coffins in it sealed it for me. Bush was trying to hide his evil.
