And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

Well, kid in the Air Force, it is Memorial Day, and the military does do some pretty cool stuff. It's not idolatry - I reserve that for Mrs. CW and Freckles - but there is indeed admiration. When you need the military, you really need it, and you'll be glad there's one there.
Why don't you FOAD, Anonymous Coward? If you don't like it, go upstairs and cry to your mommy. You're likely the only reader of this site "offended" by this, and you won't be missed.
I could see you doing this LL, must have been a blast! Lucky you! The only thing besides riding in C-130s is repelling off of Hueys and having the pilot start doing lazy 8's about a thousand feet in the air.
When I saw the pic I thought someone was about to have a bad day, cause Hell was dropping in for a visit! Then I read the comments and realized the someone was called "anonymous", Houaagh! Retired Cop

ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that tolls like that never leave their names, addresses and telephone numbers. Cowards.
