(5,737 posts)34. But then that little oath many of us took gets in the way.
I,........, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Once a Marine, always a Marine. If those idiots wanted to play army, then they should have joined - or in the case with Trump, not been a draft dodger. i had a deferment but joined when that deferment no longer applied. Fat guys running around in the woods wearing camo don't scare us much.

True, but remains dog whistle in the sense that 1 side gets it right off, other has to figure it out

Agreed. My title says not both, but the OP admits one is likely part of the other. nt

Thank you. I guess. Sometimes it's a pleasure to expose the other side, but not this time. nt

Trump is thinking about his upcoming loss. Not happy. Sad. Sadistic. Seditious. nt
