I served on the diesel-electric boats so we came into port almost weekly. I did not suffer with long patrols as much as the nuke.

During the '60s, and beyond, my nuclear boat brothers of the phin did not surface during their 90 day patrols in boat fast attack and missile boats. Sailors cruising the oceans at 1,000 feet, dead silent, cut off from the world, to deter the USSR.

Not long ago I turned on the TV news to see the traitorous republican senators travel to Moscow to fellate Putin in support of Putin's bitch, Donnie boy Trump. And many of the republicans pols were the draft dodgers of my era. Sickening to watch.

It makes me feel like all those deterrent patrols, and the hundreds, if not thousands, of families destroyed marriages, because of the long long patrols, were not worth it. All that wasted time to now support a racist raping draft dodging f*cking punk coward whose Mommy got him 5 fake bone spur deferments.
