War is HELL and Other Facts!

The orange “Bone Spurs COWARD" has NEVER served or cared about anyone except himself!  

As you know if you're one of my subscribers, I'm a Vietnam veteran.  I joined the United States Navy Reserve at 17 while I was a junior in high school.  My Dad was a WWII Navy veteran and, at that time, I thought I'd become a doctor in the future so I became a Hospital Corpsman to learn and experience the medical environment.

Little did I know at that young age how naive I was about that profession.

My life changed because of that decision.  I missed the fun of summer break before my senior year because I spent that summer in boot camp.  

The following summer after graduation I intended to attend Nevada Southern University (Now UNLV) with my friends.

At that time, everyone who graduated from a Nevada high school could attend tuition free.  

Again, I spent the summer in Hospital Corps School in San Diego.  There was supposed to be a special class of 14 weeks for reservists instead of the normal 16 for those of us who needed to get back in time to start college.

Through a clerical error, I was placed in a 16 week group with active duty personnel.  I missed the first semester with all my buddies which was a blessing and a curse.  Some of them joined a fraternity and partied all the time.  Looking back, it reminds me of the “Animal House" movie. 😊

I worked and signed up for the second semester but since I was a semester behind, I decided to drop out and get my active duty obligation out of the way.  

All my friends graduated from college.  I went to Vietnam. 

One of my high school classmates died there.

If you haven't read my posts about PTSD and the effects it takes on the soul of a person, they can be found in some of my original posts here.

Instead of going back to school and getting a degree, I worked 3 jobs to survive.  I used my VA education benefit to take a three year writing correspondence course during nights and weekends.

I now realize how much the seeds of those early decisions grew into the massive oak tree which took root and consumed my future.

PTSD is a seed that becomes that tree!  My post yesterday about those who serve on the USS Abraham Lincoln and ALL who serve in that theater of t-Rump’$ WAR, have that seed taking root in their souls!  The fertilizer of lies from t-Rump, Kegsbreath and the soulless, cowardly Republicans in the House, Senate and Cabinet of sycophantic cowards who kneel before their Faux King and his puppet master in Russia nourish that tree which will block the sunlight of their lives for decades!

My writing is an attempt to express what happens to a young person's life because of the desire to serve while people like t-Rump are in charge of decisions which affect and, in many ways, control their future thoughts.

McNamara, Westmoreland and Nixon were the corrupt liars of my war.  Their children didn't serve.  Their lies and corruption were the fertilizer of my generation's oak tree of PTSD.

Today's volunteer military members are going to suffer for decades as I and my fellow Vietnam vets have.  We know what these kids will feel in 60 years if they survive that long. 22 veterans commit suicide EVERY day!

My sincere desire is to write and speak TRUTH to the monstrous power hungry bugs currently scampering around Washington DC like a hoard of greedy, grifting, incompetent cockroaches!

My words probably won't be read by enough people to matter but I'll still be here EVERY day as long as I breathe trying.

It's going to take millions of like minded patriots to stop this Titanic government ship of State from sinking.  My metaphor about building a dam of humanity high enough, wide enough and strong enough to hold back the tsunami of t-Rump’$ absolute EVIL is a valid comparison.

If not now, WHEN?!  We, the decent, empathetic, patriotic No Kings protesters MUST continue to march, speak, write and fight until this nightmare of hate, racism, Nazis and grift is stopped!

If you're still reading this, please pass it on to someone with a million followers.  Let's join together to bail the flooding waters of corruption from this vessel of a political system to prevent her from sinking like the Titanic in 1912!

Instead of escaping into the lifeboats of apathy to watch from a distance, help us.  Grab a bucket and HELP save the United States of America from the cold darkness of

t-Rump’$ soulless depths.

Organize!  Speak!  Protest!  Fight!  Because we MUST win this WAR!
