We have a veterans home and cemetery, but I won't be making a special trip. I don't have a single family member that died for their country. Many of them on the maternal side of my family served, but like the vast majority, survived the experience. A lot of them were Navy. The USMC taxi service.

Is it me or all of you just saying dumb shit this morning? You’re Native American! This hits me as a modern day Jew claiming he doesn’t know about the Holocaust. Or a Black person saying they know of no slaves in his family. Are you really saying that you need to know about native American who served in the military before you honor one who gave his life for this country? Did none of your ancestors give their lives TO this country?

Mine survived. But I always remember my mother's father who was sent on the first of several of Uncle Sam's Southeast Asia tours at the tender age of 39. He used to tell the story of having come down with malaria and that was how he spent the ship ride home.


He did make a full bird outta the deal, but he gave his .45 back.

That's the story of the military. Illness and accident sideline far more than combat ever directly does.
 
Those 140-pound fresh-outta-highschool guys sent off thousands of miles with an 11 pound rifle that kicks like a Georgia mule to crawl through mud dragging another 40 pounds of shit to kill people he's never seen and wouldn't have met otherwise.


There was that guy I knew who turned 18 on Iwo. Most guys shot at something they saw move or into a herd of people and they didn't know what they hit and had Plausible Deniability. This guy killed 5 soldiers in the cave he picked to take a break in, including the officer with his own sword.


Yeah, those guys . . . .


 
Yeah, but that stank shit usually comes from the Dumber'n Field-dirt crowd, and some of their ilk seem to pollute our streams . . . .
 
Holy Hey-Zeus but that last clap of thinner sounded right overhead and made my jump in my seat a little bit...


Unlike the ankle-biters here, I did not piddle myself in the excitement.
 
That's what I'm do do do lookin' (at) out my back door. Good thing this mower is a runner. Three pulls max.


There's a libturds jerk-off joke awfully close to the surface in that-there piss-puddle of intellectualism . . . .
 
Pull?

Mine has a key.

Did you know? All mowers share the same key.

Some sort of self-imposed industry standard. I'm still using the John Deere™ key on the Husqvarna™.
 
I'm glad you got a Husqvarna. The landlady is very fond of hers and we got it used 2 years ago. They only think besides routine maintenance has been a battery.


I have a really good picture of the horses helping to fix that. Horses are helpful by nature.
 
And as you know, it really has to survive a beating around here...

Well, I'm out of here. Trolls fed. Negativity avoided, feeling a little less bored, since the TV satellite is out.
 
I'll pretend like my pull string is a Husqvarna twisty-key. After I check the oil and fill it with petrol. Non-ethanol petrol. Thanks be to Allah that it exists. Still.I need to top off the Harley-Davidson, too. Non-ethanol for it, too.


I reckon that I'm in charge of the lead.


Still the high bid, for the moment . . . .
