    Johnson volunteered immediately after Pearl Harbor (like so many other Americans) but it was as much for political reasons as patriotic reasons. He only spent about 6 months in uniform. He went on one bombing run in the South Pacific (more to get a combat ribbon than anything) which was aborted due to mechanical problems. On the way back to base they were attacked by Zeros and pretty well shot up (The plane he was supposed to be on was shot down with no survivors….all because Johnson had to take a preflight dump and someone else took his place). Upon returning to base, Lyndon changed his underwear and requested a transfer back home. And for his mission of personal aggrandizement he was awarded a Silver Star (??!!???). Politicians sure like to pad their (and each other’s) resumes while those around them are actually doing all the heavy lifting……

    Better than 15 to one casualties is hardly what I would call getting our ass kicked. The NVA and especially the Viet Cong attacked in mass and got mowed down. Their strategy was to overwhelm the Americans which occasionally worked. Every time they scored a costly win the American public couldn't take it and wanted out of an endless exchange of life which the Vietnamese were prepared to sacrifice while we wore definitely not prepared to take our 70,000 or more deaths. I lost friends over there and understand our desire to not have more sacrifice. It was very painful for us. Now imagine how painful it was for the Vietnamese who lost an order of magnitude more while having a much smaller population than us. Now that's some grit.

    I wanted to protest when I got out of the Army. Missed out undoubtedly because of another commitment. The kids that went got the holy shit beat out of them by the cops. Blood everywhere. Happened in the park blocks sometime around 1970 or '71. The park blocks are near Portland State University.

    That was only to dart out of his office building and just as quickly to dart back in. Hell, staying outside you could accidentally catch a rain drop or suffer some hot air.

    Hillary ninja'd her way inside of a federal prison, disabled two guards, and then killed Jeffery Epstein. Trump should consider sitting the next election out.

    Once you see this, you will know the difference between a Bull Shit Artist and the supreme Bull shit master. Every Trumplican politician should watch this.

    Melania is getting involved in the family business of grifting. She is hosting, for a fee, a charity event for a charity that does not exist. I guess sugar daddy isn't stumping up enough.
