We flew huge C-141 Starlifter cargo jets between the US and southeast Asia.
We carried supplies and munitions eastbound, but not westbound.
There is a huge US hospital/mortuary in Yokota Japan where the injured and dead service people were flown from Vietnam to the Yokota facility.

The dead were processed there and placed in hermetical sealed aluminum coffins (called human remains transfer cases). The C-141 carried ten cargo pallets, each pallet was loaded with eight HRTC’s, so each westbound flight carried 80 bodies.

During the long overwater flights I would I step down into the cargo bay and read… you see each case was equipped with container holding the paperwork accompanying the remains. The paperwork indicated the name, age, hometown, next of kin, cause of death, and whether the remains were viewable or not. The average age of the deceased was 19 years old.
Those who were from the western states were unloaded at the Travis AFB California mortuary, and those from the eastern states were unloaded at Dover AFB Delaware.

I flew two or three SEA runs every month, with many more aircraft making these same depressing SEA runs…no flags draped over the cases, no honor guards meeting the planes, the pallets were simply rolled onto flatbed K-loaders and driven away.

On other occasions the aircraft was reconfigured into a flying fully staffed med-evac hospital.

These flights were loaded with litters, two high down the cargo bay accompanied by two doctors, three nurses and an array of medical machines. Some injuries were moderate while others were horribly wounded, paralyzed, burned, amputees etc.

Now am proud of my service, but ashamed of the waste, and the futility of that war (as is true of most wars).

The point of this story is the red hot rage and loathing I harbor toward the bloated stinking piece of shit who calls these people, my people, and the others who have served our country over the years “SUCKERS and LOSERS”!

I will not rest until this putrid orange monster lies rotting in the ground, food for worms and maggots! That will be one hell of a happy day.

…and so it goes.

That tRump wants to prolong the Covid 19 crisis or even make it worse until November so that he can declare a full-blown national emergency, call out the National Guard and cancel the election indefinitely?

Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

People are fighting in the isles of super markets to grab the last rolls.

...in reality, they cannot come to fruition at this time in this country.

The orange yam is salivating at the prospect of facing Sanders, and I am convinced that there is no way in hell that Bernie can beat trump in the general election.

Never mind that the election will be rigged to the hilt by trump and his imps, I believe that only Biden and Amy or Elisabeth as VP can overcome this rigged and hacked system.

and ready for yet another middle east war, now in defense of Saudi Arabia’s oil fields.
Didn't we supply the Saudis (9/11 perpetrators) with billions of dollars’ worth of arms, bombs, fighter jets, etc. over the years for their own defense?? No, we have to invade Iran for them.
Okay yeah, gotta ‘rally round trump and the flag boys with the 2020 elections coming up, and millions of dollars to be made.
So now trump-humpers, here’s your chance to enlist. Too old? Send your kids and grand kids to fight and die for trump.

The utter contempt in which I hold trump and his follows is beyond measure.

I hate that filthy fucking disease with every fiber of my being. I have lost too many family members and friends to it over the years.

If we would spend just half as much on medical research to cure cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and other killer diseases instead of billions and trillions on the military and military adventures we would be more in line with the civilized countries of this earth.

I served for 8 years in the USAF during the Vietnam conflict, so I just cannot suffer these fools who are so gung-ho to start yet another war in some godforsaken place just so the criminal captains of industry can make even more dirty money.
