xeodtech's JournalVFW as a Vet.
I served from 83 to 91, One of my son's was medivaced out of Iraq in 2003. The other did 4 tours on the Stennis and Reagan. I live in a very wealthy town is upstate NY.. We do OK ... we make just over a 100 grand but the houses on our lake cost multi millions.. Welcome to cost of living...
My sisters friend, the sister or Barry Crimmons, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Crimmins), rented the VA hall for a family remembrance. When I showed up at the VFW at 1130 am on a Saturday there were at least 10 people intoxicated at the bar. We also have the American Legion in my part of town and it's the same thing.. a bunch of drunks..
The funny thing is that most of these people are not vets.. they are son's and daughter's of vets.. They could give a shit less than having a private place to get drunk... They march in the parades thinking they are proud... They love Trump..... They have never read the constitution nor took a vow to it..
They don't want Vets like me... I almost got into fisticuffs a year ago at the clambake..
That's the president's base...
Fuck the American Legion and the VFW... True vets do not go there..
oops forgot one thing my Dad was one of the first soldiers to walk into Dachau after it's liberation.. He became a Doctor......
This reporting makes us look bad
I am all in with the problems with our police and have knelt for the Anthem as a white man at a Syracuse football game..
However, this article on Huffington Post is what the right is going to use against us.. A black man breaking into his own business to test his security system and someone called the cops... Perhaps, his neighbors were looking out for his business. I am really not sure this was or had any racist intent..

I'm really pissed at the Secret Service
I was Army EOD and ran with the Secret Service.. How could they allow our President to walk through a line of people with daggers and swords with all the stabbings in London.... .......
Today as an IT Company I scored 4 Repub towns
One of my friends that owns a small IT company decided to go out of business. He recommended me to 4 towns in Central New York and I gave my presentation... They were all impressed and it looks like I will win the contracts for all of them. These are all Trump Republicans...
However, I contemplated schooling them on the Constitution and wtf is going on right now... but I guess I am as bad as the rest... I'll take their money.. and hopefully educated them along the way...
WTF I want to move out of this country after serving it for 9 years, Dad WWII, two kids during these "wars" and one getting medevaced from Iraq in 2003...
God Help Us... even thought I don't believe.
What's even scarier than a Trump Presidency
Is Mike Pence taking over the white house with a supreme court that is a total train wreck. Then getting Elected in 2020......... I hope RBG is working out every day... but someone else will drop in the next 6 years..
