Serving In The Military Will Be A Waste Of Time Under Trump & GOP.
I cannot think of any reason for a person to enlist in the military going forward. What are we now protecting. The country that is so infected with racism, bigotry, xenophobia and misogyny cannot be great again. It is a myth. We have rejected everything this country stood for.

If we do not mend our ways in these areas we are hypocrites not worth saving. The country's soul is sick the way we are now. No one in their right mind would ever consider a person who is not only so flawed they are down right dangerous. I believe what we have done is just as bad as leaving your children with a known mean pedophile. I do not understand how we could have made a worse pick. Our decision defies all logic and decency no matter how you try to justify it.

So even giving your life for the country right now would seem to be a waste. The only redeeming thing about service is to save what is left of the country so we have the ability to change our course.

It can only be a good thing to have fewer people in the military who would regard DU as anything but a slideshow on 'What not to do with your life.'

Of all the vile crap spewing from liberal scum the last few weeks this is the most disappointing.  It is such a departure from all the support for our troops and organizations like Wounded Warrior over at DU......wait.......never mind.

Come on, this has to be someone's mole.

[SVPete]

I'm sure the military will experience declining enlistment, just as it did under Reagan.

Seriously, why in Hades would one enlist under Obama and Clinton, who disdain and hate military people and use them as expendable pawns?

Well I was gonna start another thread for this one, but it's kind of redundant.. Limpy is still foaming at the mouth in this thread

I Ask Myself Will I Ever Feel Good About Anything Again After This Election.
At 73 based on everything I know and have experienced in this country I just do not know if I will ever feel good about anything again. Personally this election has been devastating because I understand what madness we are facing. Ever since Reagan ****ed the country all I have seen is a slow slide to where we are right now. In actuality we have a raging psychopath now in the White House. Sorry Trump will prove more than a sociopath. And the GOP will prove itself to be the reincarnation of the Nazis. And right wing Christians will prove they are as bad as the Islamic terrorists.

Of course we have to fight all this insanity because we have no other choice. At 73 and retired why do I have to fight this insanity at all. Thanks to racism and mass determined stupidity and apathy on the part of 46% of people who did not vote we are in a crisis as far as I am concerned.

Each day with each tweet Trump proves how incompetent and vicious he is. And it is not even the beginning of the administration from beyond hell actually. Even hell won't be as bad as what I fear.

I am no mood to say merry Christmas and I am even in a worse mood to even think happy New Year.

ADDENDUM
I am working on finding hope when I see little. And I am working on being optimistic. There is another aspect of this situation that I have not shared. I lost my foot to staph 3 years ago and have been doing pretty well resuming most activities including winning a flight in a golf tournament where I was the only golfer with a wooden leg LOL.

However, my spouse has developed a health condition that is scary. It is such that it leads to all sorts of possibilities that are worrisome. Until we can see a cardiologist after a echocardiogram we won't know what is going on and what can be done.

Bob Mestas, this one's for you.

Emperor Three Putt is still in the White House, you half-wit. Are you calling your Magic Negro a raging psychopath?

And right wing Christians will prove they are as bad as the Islamic terrorists.

If right wing Christians mutilate their first clitoris, throw their first homosexual off a roof, drive their first truck into a New Year's Eve celebration, or cut their first child in half with a chain saw, then I'll begin to worry about them, you half-wit.

Of course we have to fight all this insanity because we have no other choice. At 73 and retired why do I have to fight this insanity at all.

Bob, you're not fighting insanity. Insanity has completely conquered your gangrenous mind.

Liar. Your foot rotted off because of your toxic hatred, and your brain is following right behind.

However, my spouse has developed a health condition that is scary. It is such that it leads to all sorts of possibilities that are worrisome. Until we can see a cardiologist after a echocardiogram we won't know what is going on and what can be done.

And you are failing as a man and husband, by venting your fetid spleen on DU and in real life (ask me how I know that, Bob. I beg you!) instead of manning up, setting your mind to what should be most important, and supporting your wife with love and compassion.

You are a disgusting excuse for a man, Bob, and I can't even find it in my heart to make fun of you anymore. **** you.

Swap out the emboldened with democrap(s,ic), and his true intention becomes clear..
Dispareging his fellow DUmplings like that is risky.

  Well yes. She's sick to death of your bullshit, asshole.

Like we did under Reagan (when "right wing Christians" were at our most influential?) and G. H. W. Bush, and under G. W. Bush? History demonstrates the silliness and ludicrosity of what you profess to fear.

However, my spouse has developed a health condition that is scary. It is such that it leads to all sorts of possibilities that are worrisome.

Joking and other chaffing aside, I am sad to hear that. For her sake I suggest setting aside your anger and bitterness - in and out of her presence - and devoting more time and energy to her. Make your presence a in her life a source of encouragement and comfort. We all know how out temporal lives will end, but why make the time until that event unpleasant.

Hmmmm....

Dingleberry here says that he's 73.  2016-73=1943.  That means that he was alive, if not exactly sentient, when a bunch of racist, bigoted, zenophobic misogynists invaded Europe.  And yes, they most definitely were all of those things and more: a segregated army, that referred to their enemy derisively as "krauts," specifically excluding people with German or Italian heritage, and who definitely would never hesitate to grab a woman's ass just for the fun of it.  And what were these people called, even by the uber-lib Tom Brokaw?


The Greatest Generation.


So either this idiot is just a stupid, crusty old fart who needs to be kicked repeatedly in the balls until he finally understands what an idiot he is, or he's flat-out lying about who he is all together.  Even money on either.

[SVPete]

... specifically excluding people with German or Italian heritage ...

AW, if you are saying that men of German heritage were kept out of the Army in the ETO that would be incorrect. My family name is German, and my Dad and his siblings spoke German at home and attended a Lutheran church that switched from services in German to English some time in the 1930s. May Dad and his younger brother were 4-F, but their older brother served in North Africa and Italy. Then there's their theater commander, Eisenhower.

I should not have made such a blanket statement.

The War Department definitely did seek out people who spoke fluent German and Italian (and French), but they were subject to some additional scrutiny.  They typically tried to route those who didn't have a specific skills needed in the ETO to go to the Pacific instead.  At least that's what Ambrose documented, and I have no cause to think that he was inaccurate in that.

I can't ask my Uncle Erwin whether he went through any particular scrutiny, since he died 20 years ago. It's not improbable, though his parents and older sister came to the US a decade before the US entered WW1, and apparently were checked out by the Feds back then. He did have 2 particularly valuable skills, speaking German and being a mechanic (raised on a farm and graduated from a tech school). The Army had him working on trucks and tanks. OTOH, his younger sister's husband (also of German heritage) was a gunner in the USAAF in the PTO.

My family too has a German name. My grandpa was a doctor over in England treating soldiers.  Oddly enough, there was some German letters found inside some old books, even with hitler stamps on them from the same time period. Nothing addressed to him or the rest of the family so I'd assume they were kept for the novelty of it.
