They do this training every year. Baffling to me how people who call themselves Americans can so disrespect and distrust their own soldiers.

And that is a point. It's the point that colonel made in the video. Okay if you don't like the current administration, but doggone, why do you think one man--even a president--is going to make a 200-year-old half-a-million-strong institution of your own sons, fathers, and neighbors turn on you? And you still have the gall to say you "honor the troops" at the same time?

It's not really a deep mystery. Especially down here Texas way, we got us some "special kinds o' folks."


Take a look.

There ain't no explainin' it. Outside of maybe some bad DNA in a few counties.

Jus' the way it is in these parts.

Cognitive dissonance requires a few functioning brain cells.

So true. In the immortal words of Jon Stewart, F your false patriotism.

Sad that so many Americans think what happened in Germany can't happen here Germany and Austria were full of wise crack artists just before the 3rd Riech marched in and all travel was banned
I give Texans plenty of credit for good instincts
Sorry to say our government lies a lot
To say that close to a billion has been spent on Gun ban advocacy "to protect the public" is a good example
Not to mention the additional 4.5 billion on gun control proposed by this administration

Right, like sending our soldiers into frivolous wars under the last administration, yet your ilk cheered them to their slaughter.

You're a hypocrite. There was ample evidence the Iraq war was useless and based on actuwl lies, yet any who questioned were deemed unpatriotic. The Dixie Chicks had their careers ruined

In contrast, there's no evidence that this operation is anything nefarious.

Your patriotism is a joke. You have no standards of consistency
