I joined fully expecting to have to fight Russians. We never did, but in Russia they never had freedom of speech.

If Putin, the little short mobster, had not taken control of Russia they may have gotten that freedom.

We in the US have it today and I'll be damn if some old man can't get his act together enough to understand the importance of that freedom.

It wasn't for wannabe mobster that most Vets signed up to fight for.
