. . . in just about our whole system
I soldiered for 30 years, including serving in the bush in Vietnam. I put kids in body bags who did not hesitate to expose themselves to gunfire to save their buddies. And now I'm looking at a wimpy US Attorney General who is afraid of being too political. JESUSFUCKINGCHRIST, AG Garland -- it doesn't matter what you do, you will be attacked. YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THE RIGHT THING TWO YEARS AGO. Goddam, I'm glad Garland was not in my platoon . . . fucking coward.
And don't get me started on the goddam Supreme Court. I had a 2-year tour at the Pentagon where I was in an office with a vigorous public relations effort. I spent two years flying here and there speaking to veterans' groups, retired military, Rotary Clubs -- you name it. Many of them gave me little mementoes -- a cap, a T-shirt, a pen and pencil set, a plaque. When I returned to the Pentagon, I had to turn in any gift I received to the Dept of Defense General Counsel Office with an explanation of what the gift was, who gave it to me, etc. They then had to okay my keeping a baseball cap -- so it was clear I was not taking a bribe.
Yet we now have Supreme Court justices enjoying expensive fishing trips, "loans" to by a luxury RV, and on and on and on. And not a fucking word is said about it. Why did I -- I little unimportant colonel -- have to account for a goddam T-shirt when they get RVs, loans, their wives try to overturn an election, and God only knows what else AND NO ONE DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
OH, and I forgot -- the three latest addition so the so-called "Supreme" Court who lied in their confirmation hearings -- "Oh, yes, Senator, Roe v. Wade is settled law, cross my heart, I swear." One is a fool, one is a drunk, and the third is a holyroller who speaks in tongues. What a fucking joke.
I'm 79 . . . and this is the pile of shit I'm leaving for my grandsons.
