That was a meme?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion I guess.True enough. But you know something? Nobody on this blog commands the US Armed Forces. Shouldn't the qualifications for the commander in chief at LEAST be as stringent as they are on an anonymous message board?
Just pointing out that you, don't have a dog in this fight........ Or let's put it this way, those that have served, in whatever capacity, have a investment in this that those that haven't, do not...... And I'm talking this blog, nothing more!I'm not the one questioning the legitimacy of posts based on military experience. Insp4 made the comment Hack, I really don't think K.C., or bears, have seen any military service. ...... Just saying. And perhaps he IS 'just saying'. But it implies that BECAUSE I didn't serve in the military, my posts should be questioned. If that criteria is enough to diminish the validity of my words, wouldn't it hold true that it would ALSO apply to a person who prefers tweeter over message boards (and happens to be commander in chief of the US Armed Forces). FWIW, that comment came from out of the blue....nobody had been critical of the military, nor were we even DISCUSSING the military. Just blurts out "they haven't seen any military service". If it matters on a message board, shouldn't it matter for a much more critical position?
Seems like I got under your skin KCFrier, you sound angry. I didn't imply bicycles are childish, just your endless TDS whining. I don't think I would have too much trouble keeping up, I ride my mountain bike all the time on rough trails, and a stationary bike almost every day. I just don't ride bicycles on the public roads, too dangerous. A friend of mine that bike raced was nearly killed training road riding, rear ended and the driver took off, hit and run. Probably another illegal immigrant with no insurance. So no thanks. I'd rather lift weights, I'd invite you but I know you couldn't keep up.Are you implying that bicycles are childish? I turned 61 last month and rode a mile for each year...in one ride. I average about 400 miles per month. Tell you what...I'll rent you a bike and you can ride with me and the retirees who ride on Wednesday mornings. 3 of the guys are over 80. Our shortest ride has been 35 miles. Care to join us? You'll need to be able to average about 17 mph for the trip, but I'm sure it's no problem for a tough guy like yourself.
I was there early on. My feelings are if you go to war, go in to win! but if that's not the goal, then don't go at all! Our Democrat President Johnson put so many restrictions on us that it assured a no win scenario. It's no wonder there was so much animosity at home, and in the ranks.Not everyone is cut out for military duty......went from draft to volunteer...and there's reasons for that. Volunteers want to be there while draftees are indentured servants more or less. "Nam proved the problems of forced service. All this crap of this guy or that guy 'dodging' military service is more often than not, cited by clowns who never served and never wanted to...so go figure. Above that, during the 'Nam years, one went to high school, got out, got a job and waited to see if they got drafted...some volunteered by enlisting....some got completely legal college deferments...that is the way it was then......others hid or went to Canada....those are your draft dodgers, not someone who used the system to their advantage. Trump supposedly had bone spurs but got a deferment one way or another....lots of Sentors sons did too......ask Bill Clinton about favoritism...it was abundant then and wrong. But George Bush dodged the draft by enlisting in the ANG for several years....kiss my ass.

What aircraft carrier were you on?Just pointing out that you, don't have a dog in this fight........ Or let's put it this way, those that have served, in whatever capacity, have a investment in this that those that haven't, do not...... And I'm talking this blog, nothing more!
There is none.Ask Insp4 what my or bears military service had to do with ANYTHING that was discussed on this thread, prior to him making his comment.
