@miamimellymel @Elton55Tony @hugolowell If it gets to that point, we may be looking at World War 3.

@miamimellymel @Elton55Tony @hugolowell I wanted to enlist, but I wasn't going to fight for a government I couldn't trust. If a young man in his teens could see such obvious deceit, why not Congress? Well, a lot of people did. We protested.

@miamimellymel @Elton55Tony @hugolowell But we sure as shit didn't storm Congress. It was more like a parade.

@miamimellymel @Elton55Tony @hugolowell Fuckin times have changed.

@miamimellymel @Elton55Tony @hugolowell . . . but they crack our skulls.

@miamimellymel @Elton55Tony @hugolowell So, you can see how this has devolved.

@miamimellymel @Elton55Tony @hugolowell And now maybe everyone can better understand why I trust neither Democrats nor Republicans.

@miamimellymel @Elton55Tony @hugolowell That was my generation spent in fruitless bloodshed and shellshock. Even if I wasn't there, I was there. All those men and women came back home. I come from a military family. My family was there. I know the stories.

@miamimellymel @Elton55Tony @hugolowell . . . and I know it was all for bullshit.

@miamimellymel @Elton55Tony @hugolowell Maybe we're a forgotten generation. It sure feels that way.
