Stating the obvious. They're taking notes on this deployment.
Drinking coffee reading the news and like you I’m fearful of violence from this administration.
Yet we’re still going Saturday four of us old Paratroopers who still believe that we’re bound by the oath we swore as young men.
I say this with humor as uniform of the day headgear is our Veterans against Trump ball caps. Decorated with jump wings 82nd and 101st the 173rd unit pins battalion crest pins with E.I.B. and C.I.B.
Airborne personnel we were weird then and now i jokingly said to my friend yep we gotta let those L.E.G. Nazi fuckers know. L.E.G. slang for non airborne (Lacking enough guts to jump )
We have to represent our community against these fascist assholes.
The oldest among us is seventy seven he dropped with the 173rd Airborne Brigade the Herd on Junction city.
Yet four old men heading out i jokingly say yea will board the Kia after we eat breakfast at the Green ramp in our case the Green ramp is the local diner.
Over breakfast will run through the checklist.
Arthritis medicine taken check
Fluid pill oh you’re holding off good idea now that’s adapt and overcome.
Anti acids for after action chili dogs and gravy fries check.
And if you have two former Paratroopers it’s a shit session more than two the bullshit flies with stories of jumps.
Yet these people in this administration and are taking notes it’s how it goes down you take notes from platoon to company level to the top commander .
To avoid any mistakes for the next time this is like a live fire exercise.
You run it during the day and then you run it at nighttime for the inevitable.
Fuckhead caused this shit. In immediate deportation in not giving out Due Process. The fifth amendment reads no person shall be denied. It doesn’t say if you’re here illegally then sorry Shit out of luck.
= new reply since forum marked as read
I feel that need/desire to resist and fight back banging against the walls of old-man-ism and all that entails. It’s frustrating.
