Which, when put on military dog tags and truncated by guy running the machine with sense of humor is Ass of God.  Guy in my unit who used to sleep around on his wife but is now Churchy McChurch on facebook had those. 

There are his true colors, talking bad about a fellow soldier behind their back. We had a name for folks like you I will not share here.

Well, we can't have African Americans and/or women aware of any of the contributions they've made to this country, now can we? 

Also, “African Americans”? Too woke a phrase. I’m sure Trump can come up with another word for them and mandate its use via some proclamation.

What do call it when a draft dodger talks bad about soldiers in public?

My Dad told me he wished he did not go through hell of Vietnam. He also said he was happy for whoever managed to stay out of the war. He is one of Trumps biggest supporters. I guess you need to ask all of the vets who support Trump.

Thank your dad for his service.

Would he have not been a supporter of Trump if he was a former soldier and said bad things about soldiers?

If you get a chance watch The Six Triple Eight. It's about Lt Col Charity Adams, the first African American woman to command overseas during WWII. The mission involved leading the 6888 Central Postal Directory in England during WWII. 

I wonder how many of this kind of movie ideas the Trump administration will successfully thwart, using harassment and threats of investigations and IRS audits of studios and production companies? That would be one way to MAGAtize Hollywood.

It's worth noting that a big part of the lack of affordable is that in many areas, not enough is being built. Unfortunately zoning laws and NIMBYism has made this problem worse.

Also, they can’t build houses if all the people with the hands to build them are deported.

OK, now I get Trump’s interest in no taxes on tips.

To elaborate more on this. Right now you are saying that 5% of the work force is clearly under compensated. So say you grant them citizenship. The cost to employ rises just by giving them competitive wages then you add the cost of healthcare and everything that goes with that. This directly will affect the cost of goods. That’s why I equate it to slavey in the sense they can not advocate for themselves. I am sorry they broke the laws coming here but here we are.

First off, as I've said before I want these people to be paid fair market, livable wages. If you're worried about undocumented people affecting the cost of goods and services were they to be paid more, a living wage, are you saying you don't want any American citizens who take these jobs to be paid livable wages either?

Furthermore, we already have an estimated labor shortage of 1.7 million workers. So if we deport an additional, estimated, 8.3 million undocumented workers on top of that we're at an estimated nearly 10 million worker shortage. How do we make up that deficit because there aren't enough American workers to make it up right now or seemingly in the future. 

So you don't want people to be paid at livable wages because of cost concerns, and you don't want undocumented people doing these jobs either at any wage because they came here illegally. So who exactly is going to fill these jobs? Someone has to, the need for them isn't just going to disappear. Do you want and/or expect American citizens to work below market value pay and do these jobs?

It’s easier to pad on top of and then skim off a flight costing taxpaying suckers hundreds of thousands of dollars than it is to do the same to a flight costing $8,577.

I have a name for people who cover up affairs simply because they are “soldiers”.  I won’t share it here because asterisks are boring.

No, it doesn't.  If a police officer brutalizes a suspect for no reason and other officers who saw it won't call him out, is that OK? Yeah, I know some think that's OK, but I think it's dangerous.

Framed in a different way, but this is not the first time this idea has been brought up, always seems to go unaddressed.

Great question... Also, if and when the price for consumer goods skyrocket on account of shortages of workers to do these jobs, are we expected to just take it?

The other piece is that when people hide behind their service to defend themselves, by extension, they are professing to speak for all service members and veterans. Which they don't.

The Tuskegee Airman thing is a good example... Holic sits there and says NBD, yet I've seen at least two people in my FB feed who are vets (who otherwise don't talk about politics) pipe off about this in particular and what a crappy move it is.

It's anecdotal, but not every vet feels like he does

Blue Falcon

My superfan is a boon to Motownforums.  He's posting content and generating clicks.  He's an MVP. 

As much as you hate him...he is giving you a "Goldstein" to 2 minute hate.

In fact it makes them look worse to me.  They should be held to a higher standard since some think they should get special treatment.  Most do not feel that way.

He as most Vets did not care for Harris. Maybe if they would have had a ran out someone else he would have considered them.

What if a drug addict reforms themselves. Would you look down on them too? We are all humans after all. I have said it before, look up divorce attorneys in any given city you will probably find 100 in your area. Heck, kids these days don’t even bother getting married.

Weird how he got all wrapped around the axle about that.  Its almost as if he's looking for any thread because he's obsessed.

Soldiers are going to miss the A10 for close air support.  I think the Air Force is probably also going to miss it.  But they would much rather move onto 6th gen fighters. 

The cuts to the contractor workforce are going to hurt a lot of marginal productive types and accelerate retirements.  Looks like the easiest answer would be to cut all the non-whites because nobody is looking out for their interests in Government these days.

I see a lot of military types are losing their mind about the commissary program cut.   My cousin (oh no! ROMAD1 is telling a story about someone) is married to a Navy guy -- but remains separated -- just to keep her CAC card so she can shop at one.
