Wow, did your pastor put you up to posting that? It manages to combine religion, guilt, loansharking, and jingoist patriotism all in one clip.
NOT FIREARM RELATED. NOT HIGHROAD.

It may not be firearm related (I think it is) but I sure think it's high road.
THANK YOU to all who have served, and are serving.

Bear Arms
Every so often it is well to reflect on what it means to "bear arms."
I think we'll leave this one open for a while.

Pretty sure those men and women in the video used firearms to defend your right to say that Alohachris, as well as your right to bear arms, choose to worship or not at your will, even your right choose to not be a patriot.
Only 2 forces have ever offered to die for a complete stranger: Jesus Christ and the American G I: Jesus for your soul and the American Soldier for your freedom: you may not agree with their choice but it is their legacy alone that allows you to do so.

My dad was WWII 'CBI', Army Air Corps.
Signed up June of 1940...and he was no kid in 1940, either.
As he got old, he brooded a lot on those times, but, would not say anything.
He sent off for obscure Books, read them in solitude.
He had 'pen pals', from the CBI days, and, also, with guys who had been in the European Theatre who he knew however so.
I think he figured it out.
But, he never said...and, he passed away before I was grown up enough for maturity, to have that kind of conversation.
I blow him a kiss now and then.
I wish he was still here, and we could go have a Beer and whatever, smoke Cigarettes, hang out, even if we said nothing but sit there and just sort of be.
Anyway...

My fellow high roaders: please excuse alohachris' words in his post. I also live in a blue state and I know what he's going through. It just takes some people longer than others to resist and overcome brainwashing.

Salute to all us vets.
Not fire arms related or high road you say!
Those guys were not carrying purses ashore at Normandy or Guadalcanal. As for high road that video is the spirit of the high road.

My heart goes out to you. My dad is 90, still sharp and mobile, he was at the Bulge in 44. Never said much about it until I came back from the Nam in 69. Ya I was blessed to have many conversations about "it".
You want to keep it fire arm related. I carried a 16 and sometimes a m-1 carbine. Dad was issued a Garand but took a liking to the Thompson.
(Lets not turn this tribute into a brawl gentlemen)

To the OP, thanks for choking me up at work so early in the morning.
I offer a big SALUTE to all my fellow vets and those who are on active duty today!

To me it is not political and it is not standing on a soap box to profess some inane control freaks idea of how you are gonna live your life. It is just what happened to a select group of Americans and is what was.
All stories are different and yet the same. It is called "their" history from "their" point of view and I tend to agree with their view. Hope I am still free to think that way; no thought police yet or did I miss something?
My father was also in the Bulge and I did my 4 years in S.E. Asia ( 3 kinda didn't count was based out of Thailand ) But no matter what side of the fence one sat there are memories and consequences.
Those who participated in one of our great patriotic wars have memories and did things that were the greatest/hardest/worst/ things they have ever or will ever do. Again it is a relative point of view. It is a shame that the human condition (leaders) dictates there is always someone to fight; today it is__________ tomorrow it will be someone else.
I wish I could write the words for my friends who gave their lives, but none are adequate. Wish I could heal those who came back crippled or crispy critters; but most of all I wish it was a world where there was no necessity to fight and die for land, liberty, and our desire to be left alone by some self appointed Hitlers.

Betting against the USA has never been a safe bet....
but the corrosion is coming from the inside and not out....
I still hope we figure it out and get smart...
The dag nam liberal media has brain washed and poisoned multiple generations...
Maybe free internet media will help turn the tide...
But how do you reform so much rot?
I served eight years... I wish I could say it was for something more than making the world safe for reality t.v., rainbow curriculum in kindergarten and lawsuits against drive through fast food places that serve their coffee hot.
