I Should Have Been There

This was from Sierra Vista's Black Lives Matter March.
I should have been there.
Except I'm 60 years old and I walk with a cane. Back pain would have had me sidelined before I got half a block. At my age, it seems like I've become a liability to peaceful protest.
I am a disabled veteran. I put the uniform on tried to serve this country to the best of my ability. Turns out I wasn't good soldier material. I asked too many questions and had a tendency to balk when asked to do something stupid.
This week I have seen my cohorts from Fort Bragg be deployed against civilians at behest of a president with shady ties to foreign governments. A leader who is going down in history as the new King of the Bunker Bitches, or should I say, bunker inspectors?
The scary part about all this: He has the nuke codes. Yeah, that. THE NUKE CODES. I wouldn't trust him with a spitball and a straw and he's got the fucking codes to the end of the world. Hillary did try to warn us. Too bad she didn't have a penis, maybe then more people would have listened to her.
Back to the subject at hand. When I was in, we were told we would never be deployed against the American people unless there was some sort of dire rebellion going on, much like the late lamented War of Northern Aggression. I refuse to call it the Civil War because there wasn't a damned thing about it that was civil. I mean unarmed peaceful protesters and while no one opened fire, tear gas was deployed on the orders of a five-time draft dodger who equates avoiding STDs in college to serving in the military during a war. He thinks our elite troops, our immediate response troops, the best of the by-god best, were his own private toy soldiers to be used as a riot shield for a fucking photo op. Bunker Bitch came out of hiding with the 82nd Airborne and assorted other elite troops at his back to protect him from people armed with signs.
This is not the America I swore to protect and I am at this moment thankful I am no longer in uniform or allowed anywhere near that disgusting orange blob of protoplasm.
I can't march, but I can sure as hell write.
Fuck you, Trump!
Black lives matter!
Freedom matters!
226 days, 4 hours, 28 minutes until we take back our country....

The Bonnie Blue Confederacy

Once people read and studied history. Once those same people weren't clueless ignoramuses with no breeding or upbringing. Now a bunch of idiots ignorant in both history and culture has usurped the wrong flag, the wong history, and the wong anthem that goes along with it. It would be funny if it wasn't so damned pathetic. This, boys and girls, is the Wiki entry on the Bonnie Blue Flag of the Confederacy. The amusing thing about this? North Carolina has been flying this for years and NO ONE HAS NOTICED! It would be funny if it wasn't so damned pathetic. Read and learn, morons, read and learn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_Blue_Flag I am from Mississippi. I was brought up under the confederate battle flag. I have heard the War of Northern Aggression re-fought more times than I can count. Nothing like growing up reading bumper stickers that read 'Save those Confederate dollars, the South wi

Still The Same Army

( From a Facebook post on July 7, 2018 ) Yesterday was the celebration for the Buffalo Soldiers. It's one of the parades I don't want to miss. There are lots of horses and nice bikes. This year was a little different. This year the Buffalo Soldiers were honoring women in the military and women veterans. There was a group from Ft Huachuca marching. They looked so young, most of them low ranking recruits. They have no idea what is about to happen to them. They are young and innocent and for now, the military is an exciting new experience. These kids are getting to do things and see things that most people can't even imagine. They are getting to see and use the latest and greatest technology. Eventually, these young soldiers will be assigned to field units. I enlisted during that wonderful era , shortly after the old WAC was disbanded and the military started assigning women to traditionally all-male units. At my first duty station, there were four women in the c
