    I have sat back and been amazed at all the hysteria that has gripped this country since the election. It has been ridiculous on a level I can't recall.

    But now?

    Now would be the time to freak, but the chicken littles have made it so nobody will care.

    You're just numb from going from one crisis to another in a never ending series.

    You can think what you want but my entire adult life has had countless idiotic wars running in the background. People don't care because they aren't here. I care about soldiers dying and getting blown to pieces and surviving, needing PENIS transplants for crying out loud. None of those wars were worth a single life. None.

    None of it has been a crisis. We'll soon see how this plays out. Our government is treating war like the deficit.

    We started it so we have to keep it going? Is that it?

    I have to admit, and probably should go read some of your posts but I thought you were pro- Trump. Must be someone else. Sorry.

    How 'bout a new lower jaw.

    You should see all the guys I see up at the VA hospital rolling around in wheel chairs with no one to help them. It's beyond sad.

    I remember riding to the hospital one early morning with a bunch of fellow combat vets, mostly from the VN war but some form Iraq and Afghanistan, and we all broke into singing the Country Joe McDonald song It's one two three four what are we fighting for? My God that was cathartic.

    I voted for Trump and until today I was STILL sure. Now it would be a 50/50 tossup. Lesser of two evils.

    This motherfucker better be fired in a week.

    I wasn't alive when Muhammad Ali said his piece about why go to a country he doesn't know and shoot at some brown people that never did anything to him (I'm totally winging that quote) but it is one of the best things I've ever heard.

    It may end up hurting but I usually stick to doing what I say I'll do. Maybe, this shit ain't over and I can't see the alternate universe where Hillary won.

    I guess everyone realizes who we are dealing with at their own time. Mine came a long long time ago. This is totally unsurprising to me.

    I'm still going to hold onto the Supreme Court as a win but if it gets nuked what's the fucking point? Maybe the wall is to keep us IN

    Look, I know guys maybe didn't have a lot of options or they wanted to serve the country or their fathers were military. I get it. It was never for me and this is the reason why....

    These asshole politicians just point them in any dumbass direction they want and somehow sleep at night when this is the result. I couldn't.

    That doesn't even touch on how much I hate wasting money. I want all SnapOn tools and a 15 thousand dollar toolbox just like the next guy. I'm just not dumb enough to waste my money on that.

    You just need to find someone with that and get them addicted to meth.

    I wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy. Actually people are selling these things on Craigslist quite often. 3000 is still too much for a fancy metal dresser.

    Bolton is a great addition, considering our last 3 Presidents allowed NK to progress to the precipice of being able (we already know they are willing) to nuke us.

    Their entire military will need to be destroyed, probably this year.

    This suddenly proposed meeting with Trump is an obvious ruse by NK to stall for just a little bit more time before they can strike, and it appears we will strike first.
