We massed up to go and recollect Damasak which was a blood bath back then.
The GOC came talked to us and told us about the task, now gentlemen, the Chadians are already in Damasak and we are to go take over from them so they can focus on other operations.
I raised my hand /1

To ask question ❓
Then there was no Theater command.
The Officer Commanding called me immediately and say, Die hard please no question, I know what you want to ask.
He was so good to all the SFs then that I had to obey him and climbed my gun #EagleEye.
I respect /2

500K Americans died of #Covid! On #InaugurationDay it was 420K so they put one light on the #ReflectingPool at the #LincolnMemorial for each thousand deaths. It looked like this, but this isn't what 400K people look like! Doesn't look as shocking as 400K! npr.org/sections/coron…
In 1969 I went up to Max Yasgur's farm to sleep in the mud and sit on a hill overlooking a stage where #JanisJoplin, #JimiHendrix, and #JoanBaez played. So I know what 500 thousand people look like. They look like a sea of swaying humanity. There was no crime in #WoodstockNation 
500 thousand Americans have died, and I think the number is just too incomprehensible, it's so big, it has lost it's meaning. I've found when I say, "500 thousand people have died!" somebody always asks, how many were supposed to die this year? Because they honestly do not know.
1. In case you slept through #InaugurationDay here’s a rundown of everything you missed!
2. Former President Donald Trump had his final farewell ceremony where both he and former first lady, Melania Trump, gave remarks. Although the former President wished the Biden and his administration “great luck”, he did not mention him by name.
3. Let’s get started with Amanda Gorman, the United States first ever youth poet laureate! She recited a poem at the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that she wanted to not only “provide hope” but to also “show the power of words.
Cpt Hall's #PledgeofAllegiance in #AmericanSignLanguage on #InaugurationDay has rightfully seized our attention. In this thread, I want to analyse where this came from, what we can learn from it, and what we should NOT learn from it. Read more on this longish THREAD 1/20
When Cpt Hall starting signing, social media exploded with deaf people seeing fluency in her signs and wondering, as @NeilMcD did with his CODA son, if she was also a CODA. And she is! CODAs may grow up with a national sign language as one of their family languages @codaintl /2
Cpt Hall seemed to decide on her own to use #ASL (remember, sign languages are not universal- they are as distinct as spoken languages. The @WFDeaf_org estimates 200+ signed languages around the world. And only 50+ have been legally recognized. wfdeaf.org/news/the-legal… /3

(1/7) Wednesday was Inauguration Day in America where they made @KamalaHarris and @JoeBiden our official VP and President of the United States 🥳 #Inauguration2021 ! Here are some key moments:
(2/7) Before the Inauguration started @MichelleObama stole the show! @BuzzFeed listed her outfit and hair as one of her “21 moments she stole the show”
(3/7) She wasn’t the only one who served looks however! The Biden’s and VP Harris’s nephew didn’t hesitate to show us their fashion sense! Featuring monochromatic looks and $2000 Dior kicks! Was this an Inauguration or DC Fashion Week? 😍
It appears that I have been banned from Facebook—again!
As has @inlieuoffunshow and poor @galaxybloom_!
I confess this time I am utterly at a loss. Was it hosting @RosenJeffrey to talk about peaceful transitions of power?
Or was it hosting @Timodc and @SarahLongwell25 to celebrate #InaugurationDay?

Vice-president under Barack #Obama and a senator for 36 years, #JoeBiden is a political figure familiar to most Americans🇺🇸
To many, he lacks the aura of the last Democratic president, but after a period of turmoil in US politics, is he the steady pair of hands the nation needs?

#US 🇺🇸 President Joe #Biden moved swiftly to dismantle Donald #Trump’s legacy on his first day in office.

Before #InaugurationDay closes out, have to say I thought a lot about how happy Sen. Hagan would be today. Biden visited her after she fell sick.
This was pre-pandemic (she died in late 2019).
They didn’t get her seat back but not her fault NC is becoming FL.

Strike the FL comparison — I meant as in seemingly slightly R for everything.

Kamala Harris chose Black designers for her historical #InaugurationDay
At the Capitol, Harris wore a mid-length purple coat and matching dress by New York-based designer Christopher John Rogers. Tonight, she is set to wear an outfit by Los Angeles-based Sergio Hudson. 1/5

First lady Jill Biden wore an ocean blue dress and overcoat embellished with Swarovski pearls and crystals by Alexandra O’Neill from New York label Markarian. Her outfit included a matching silk face mask. 2/5
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former first lady Michelle Obama also wore purple - a color of the American women’s suffrage movement, but also one that many interpreted as a symbol of unity between the ‘blue states’ and ‘red states’ of the country. 3/5

PH Ambassador to US on Biden-Harris #InaugurationDay: There were 1,000 people all around. Security measures taken were unprecedented. Washington, DC was closed down. Security measures were an offshoot of what happened two weeks ago

Biden’s decision to quote St. Augustine in his inauguration speech today is really *very* significant - much more so than you might think.

It all goes back to Cicero.
According to Cicero, a society was a multitude united by a shared sense of what is just and the common good (e.g. Rep. 1.25.39; 3.31.43)
Sounds sensible, right?
Wrong.

The problem is: not everyone agrees about what is just.
What you think is “just” might not be what I think is “just”. As Augustine argued, even thieves have a sort of “justice” - but it isn’t the same as for everyone else.

“The Egyptians, which was a Communist regime, was chasing the Israelites and Moses... they came right to the edge of the Red Sea and they had nowhere to go... then God said ‘Stick out your staff’... and the Red Sea parted... so that’s exactly what’s going to happen here.”

It’s a pretty special building and a lot of animals have lived there. There is a lot going on, hopefully this will help you both settle in a little faster. So, here’s what you need to know…
You’re going to hear the word “wing” a lot. Sadly this means West Wing, not chicken wing. But if you follow the person who said it, they will probably take you to your dad for a quick belly scratch.

“On the shore, I watched the sails unfurl, flap then billow, & felt my heart billow too. ‘May the wind always be at your back’ I said, & my soft words were carried away on the salty, sea breeze.” (Emerson Warner).
