Oh...sorry...that was from Patton's speech that my Dad's friend Herb, who was in the Third Army as they rolled across Europe in the second world war, listened to at the outset. Dad fought too, but in the Pacific.

Both Dad and Herb were Republicans, but I think they'd dislike Trump and the Republican party now. Though Dad was pretty conservative...

Actually, ended up hating armed conflict and the people who encouraged it.

After parachuting into France, marching into Germany and then Italy, became pretty much a pacifist. Korea, Vietnam, Irag - didn't make sense to him. W/Cheney were evils.

Wish he were around to ask about this clown and the congress-critter(R)s.

Untrained and undisciplined. More apt to to piss their pants and run away at the first sign of trouble. Or shoot each other while bumbling through the woods. Idiots led by idiots. George Washington knew then well to his dismay....“place any dependence on Militia is assuredly resting on a broken staff.”

have a great many incels in their ranks. They need something else to do with their spare time, but you won't find too many women (or men) volunteering to calm their nerves. Most are insecure little boys who never grew up and would turn-tail and run at the first sign of resistance. They just want human companionship, because most are so socially inept militias are their only recourse.

8. That's always been why they backed Rump. They've always wanted a nazi takeover / civil war.
