Here is a question that has been bothering me at least since Djt end up in the White House. VETERANS question!

Fellow veterans here is my question coming from a family who has served in the military for four generations.
WW I Army
WW II USN
Vietnam USAF
Iraq Army Daughter
Iraq Army Son

If push comes to shove...

HOW MANY LIVING VETS ARE GOING TO REMEMBER AND HONOR THEIR ENLISTMENT OATH to the Constitution?

What is the line in the sand that you have drawn that has to be crossed before you start killing Magas? Will it include Trump loving neighbors?

I Got your 180 and every other direction.
I would rather go fighting than end as a cowering conformist. I have a daughter I will bleed for. And I will do the same for what I thought this country was, as I have done, and try to end what it is now.
Not gonna run, not gonna cower.
Space Force folks???????? They are under Muck command. 😏

And being ex military, you know the benefits of prior planning and training.

The targets are thicker than Wild Buffalo in the plains before the whites came over. And they’re about as smart as them when the “harvesting” starts.
Gubment trained and many years of wilderness survival. A passionate extreme physical adventurer, challenging pain for fun.
No threats, not gonna stalk, just highly prepared to fight for my little piece of dirt high on a hill, a strategic Dream to defend.
Don’t start nuthin. Ain’t gonna be nuthin. But, I am at General Quarters and high alert. If my fellow vets call upon me, I will stand with them.

most of the veterans in my experience are wingnuts or passive unpoliticals. Decades ago at a VFW, one of them put it succinctly, "We tend to do better (benefits, cash) with (Repubs)." He was likely wrong, but exhibits his/their beliefs and motivation.

I'm old, sick and having some memory issues, but I bet I can still shoot straight. As my trainer told us, we don't need to be sniper level, we just need to put them down.

My father was a sniper during Korea. We still have his medals, and in his honor, I'll shoot whatever I have to. My guess is most of the military is going to be on my side.
