I served with honor in the 101st airborne Div VietNam, but I have a little different take on things, I fought, and shed blood for this country so I feel I earned the right to say what I’m about to say. I joined the army at age 18, volunteered for the airborne, and service in VietNam, but if I had a crystal ball and could see how this country has devolved so much since 1969, I never would have served, I might even have grown my hair down to my butt and moved to a Canada. As the old saying goes I fought for God, mom , country, apple pie , and the girl I left behind,” but the flag and this country meant something totally different then than it does today. The American people aren’t what they used to be, nor do they beleave in the same values, and democracy we used to believe in just 50 short yrs ago. Look at the last two election, 50 % of the American people voted for out and out communist, and they won the last election. I fought against a people with the same ideology that it now seems half the American population believes in as well. Don’t get me wrong, I literally love all our vets, and the kids serving today, they’re young, and as my momma used to say, “you can’t put old heads on young shoulders”. Seems to me the ones that’s should be fighting for this country today are all the crybaby cream puff collage kids that want socialism cuz they think it means free stuff, and after all it’s them and groups like ANTIF and BLM, that this government now favors and coddles, so since everything is going their way, shouldn’t they now make the sacrifices, instead of the best kids this country has? I’m very sorry if I offend anyone, but after sacrificing for this country I feel I’ve earned the right to say what I just did, and if anyone disagrees with me, that’s fine as I and millions of others fought so that we can disagree with each other and not be chastised for it.
