    I would be afraid to see what some of them in command positions might do. Nor would I want to train them in military tactics.

    Yeah, I thought about that but I do remember than many “criminals” during the Vietnam war were given the option of either jail or military and from what I understand, the military was the choice for a majority of them.
    It would at least give most of these guys and gals some time to think about their priorities and maybe, just maybe make their mama’s proud of them.

    I like the President's proposed 10 years in jail for the trash.

    Jail would be cool but I think seeing them cleaning the damaged areas military style, on hands and knees and scrubbing with toothbrushes, would be far more worthy of some good FB posts.

    Okay, I can go that but strangely enough, having to do so with one’s footlocker on one’s back became illegal a year or so after I attended that particular party whilst in basic.
    Too bad really. I learned sooooo many lessons under my footlocker.

    I would like to see the military draft reinstated for everyone. You meet others from other parts of the country, and you see firsthand that we are all different but we are all one.

    Just like rape and blackface when Democrats do it, "That's different."

    Yeah, have you been reading about Jimmy Kimmel's "apology?" He's a liberal so he won't have any repercussions. If he were conservative he'd already have been canned.

    In a nearby town a statue was erected of two volunteer firemen who were killed while fighting a structure fire and the building collapsed while they were inside. Two fools thought it would be funny if they knocked the head off of one of the firemen in the statue which they did. They were caught and punished and later had to move out of town for now they were marked men. It's an example of senseless destruction like what's going on currently around the country.
