My buddy was in the Second Battle Of Fallujah

I asked him if he was scared. He said you're well trained and you do the best you can. I never get around to asking my dad if he was scared in the Battle Of North Africa. I do know he got blinded in one eye by enemy shrapnel and contracted malaria during it.

What does that have to do with today's news? If Trump's goons want to fight why didn't they join the armed services where the enemy is similarly equipped instead of battling moms?

It's always safer to go after the little girl sticking flowers in the gun barrels than to y'know, go after someone who could and wants to kill you.

They learned this in the '60s. It's the only thing they learned in the '60s.

All cowards.

It's why Twitter is their medium of choice.
