As a soldier ......

[Bez__]

I ran across this quite by accident and read it with more than a little interest.

I have been to some pretty unusual places.

I have also seen some pretty horrific things.

For the most part the areas we worked were far better off after we showed up.

I have had dealings with many people from the countries represented here - some of them are not very nice - and I use understatement to keep the mods from shutting me down.

I have no idea why Mugabe was not invited - several of the invitees are as bad or worse in my mind - but I suppose it does keep up appearances.

Have things truly improved that much?

I shake my head sometimes

Bez. Sir, you have my respect. Appreciation too.

I refrain from commenting or saying how I really feel, out of respect to Macon and his rules for this forum.

The cliché birds of a feather comes to mind

Which leads to think of another
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Most anything I would say about this, would get this thread locked.

I know I shouldn't be surprised at anything our ..... "leader".... does, but this... :???: :help:

I will be having dinner tonight with a close friend - a retired Lt Col - a couple of pretty medals that came from losing some bits and pieces - from the US Army - who is visiting me - we served together in many different parts of the world. I am sure we will have an interesting chat at the fire pit.

No problem boogie - it is simply an interesting article on your Pres and the Whitehouse - I saw nothing of this on the US news so I figured you folks might find it interesting

I know I did
