Great respect for that man, in an era where they chose to be known as "citizen-soldiers," rather than "warfighters," which is every other word out of the mouth of Peter Hegseth, who looks programmed to help stage-manage war both in the Mideast and in the Pacific. It was a 2-time Medal of Honor Winner who saw the light and wrote an epic book, War is a Racket(free on line at Gutenberg and a must-read.) But does Trump, who is inclined to make peace with anyone who will host a Trump hotel, casino or golf course, plan to rein in vastly wasteful military spending? He waved a finger at Boeing first time he ran and then meekly bowed to their billion-dollar refit of Airforce One and every other massive weapons appropriation set on his desk. A man who promised to balance the budget, and then signed off on- not once vetoed- 4 consecutive TRILLION dollar deficits. But he did hang Andrew Jackson's portrait- a man who did in fact balance 8 straight and leave the nation $0.00 in debt when he left office, in the Oval Office.
I take it you're running in 2028? Gonna show us how it's done?
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
