    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    I was fortunate to meet a few of the men that served with my dad. They were part of the liberation of France, one gents name was Connard, the French really teases him about it. My uncle was shot down over Belgium and is buried there. My Aunt was in the Navy! Two other uncles were military police. My family has a long history of military service.

    Mine was a B-17 pilot. He was shot down on his 13th mission and spent a year in a POW camps, the first near Hamburg. Had to do a couple of long marches as the allies were closing in. Those B-17 missions were remarkable. I saw an HBO documentary about it, the conditions in those plans were spartan. He has great stories.

    My father was a WWII Navy veteran, as were most of my uncles. None spoke much of their experiences.

    Incredible! I bet he does. My dad only talked about his ordeal around his friends. We’d have to ease drop. The same with my husband until recently, he’s opened up a little more. He has helped several of the young Iraq War vets deal with PTSD.

    Yep. B-17 pilot. A year in a POW camp. He's as liberal as they come. He despises Trump and he would laugh at the suggestion that flag burning should be illegal. He knows better.

    My Dad never said a word about his time in the war until he was in his 70's. I guess he decided he should pass some of it on, but I think that was typical of that generation. He's slowing down, but still pretty independent. Mom is 96. I hope for the same longevity.

    My dad was just shy of 96 and my mom 98, hoping the same! Be well

    Thank him for his service for me.
    Him hating Trump is insignificant.
    He "knows better"? Interesting...

    Wow, 99 -- that's a wonderful long life. Is he in fairly good health?

    He must be much like "The Colonel," my brother-in-law's late father. He also served in World War II and stateside in the Korean War, as did his wife who was a secretary to Gen. Taylor. When W invaded Iraq, The Colonel boxed up his many medals, citations, and other mementos of his service and sent them to the WH with a letter stating that he could no longer support what the U.S. government was doing. He passed away before this latest travesty of an IMPOTUS. I imagine that his take would be the same as your dad's. All three of their sons are also open-minded and patriotic.

    As RB constantly shows, not everyone who served was the same way. Just because *his* father would not approve of the various forms of free speech doesn't mean that they were all that way.

    Do you enjoy looking like an idiot?
    Apparently you have no issues looking like a dishonest, lying moron. #FuckOFFTroll
