"Who Are We Really"

“Who Are We Really” (us veterans I mean) cji 7/23/17

Maybe you'd like to know about us Veteran's going and having gone to college and still surviving - let's go back to the 1960's - where if you were a veteran you got no scholarships - no grades in some classes (meaning a C or below - some would just fail a veteran for taking their course) - you stole food to eat (GI Bill was $90.00 /if Married $110.00) - I was asked to give my money from the GI bill back as the VA said there was no way I could afford to be in College (had to show my transcript - honor roll - worked day job/night job - 16 hours at night school - wrote for the college rag - President of one of the 1st Vietnam Vets Clubs in America - my wife and I took a 4PM class to be able to see each other. Teachers were somewhat left leaning - unlike today's totally left -which made it very difficult to achieve. My wife almost died from a mis-carriage - when I approached the scholarship board as to why I was never picked - this is what they said, "You are white, married and a veteran - you'll graduate whether we give you a scholarship or not!" I told them they were responsible for my wife almost dying and our now dead child!
And yes others who did go to school - because in our day they could avoid the draft - went into education - because they could avoid the draft - married because they could avoid the draft - and had children because they could avoid the draft - and then got divorces as soon as they were able when there was no more draft! They are the leaders of the left liberals today – and are set on ruining our nation! Receiving scholarships – grades they didn’t earn or deserve – and other benefits of pelf. Yes there were many who did what they did honorably – sadly unlike today where many are totally selfish – we had many then as well.
Most are willing to play the game and walk away without any debt - and a degree while we were in places unknown trying to survive. Today many are not much different judging from the Ft. Myers-Virginia Beach-Daytona Beach and other holiday exercises (all in the name of good fun) these past years – the indulgent orgies around the Easter Holidays famously called Spring Break. It keeps getting worse and worse – but the money is good and so many look the other way – fools being fools!
There are very many excellent young people in this nation raised by good parents who've never served in the military - however, the majority of the fools who pass themselves off as being adults; i.e. the subject of this article - ruin it for the rest of them. They major in nonsense courses – tattoo their frames – pierce their ears, noses, tongues, and various other body parts and wonder why can’t get a job unless working for Soros or other liberals rioting and disparaging our nation and our freedoms.
When I was in college we had 300+ veterans going to a small Jr. College in Upstate NY - we were never hassled as there were too many of us and we watched each other’s six! At the 4 year school - we were there during the Kent State fiasco - and it was the veterans who maintained the equilibrium at our school (I was also the Veterans Club President).  
The students at the four year school were foolish punks - two stories (both very true) - with Kent State some classes ended and others didn't based on student votes. In one 3/4ths of the class failed because they voted to end the class - the professor threw out the curve - two of us got B's - 3 C's - a bunch of D's and the rest F! In another class I was on the Quad explaining to our Professor that we paid her salary and she would be in class to complete the semester - while doing so my wife went ahead to the class building were some really dumb people pretending to be students taunted her and had her crying and would not let her up the stairs. I came along - told her it was okay go ahead to class. Then I tore into those imitations of human beings better known as parasites - would guess some might still remember the fear they faced that day when I was done with them - I never even raised my voice!
Punks are a dime a dozen - and just because they live in mobs doesn't mean they are worth anything of value except to fertilize the soil when the die. Hopefully if you’re really smart - you are not one of them - and if you are one of the punks you better make some course corrections. Soon all of what we’re watching is going to come to a head – Soro’s mobs and others who’re found to be illegal, entitled, will be on one side. Citizens of this great American Nation will be on the other-side led and backed by us old veterans – still having another’s six – carrying the American Flag.
Most of us veterans have a real thin skin on some issues - it is best to keep quiet rather than to rattle one's chain in anticipation of some fun. A couple of years ago (being old and disabled) my wife (same one - 47 years later) went to St. Augustine - when we went to park a very big black fellow hopped in the back seat of our car. My wife had been counseled to let me handle situations like this - to lean forward and say nothing. He said his wife and child were hot and hungry and could we give him a ride to where they were - I agreed. As we pulled into traffic (when at the curb he's the advantage - when the car is in traffic we do) - he said, "Most would be pretty upset if a big black guy climbed into their back seat!" Would guess he was implying a threat - so I said to him, "I spent 14 months in the Far East - and was in Harlem in 1964 with Dr. Martin Luther King (we were friends due to an essay I'd written when I was 17 entitled, "Man's Right to be a Human Being").  I finished with saying,  "give it your best shot!" He asked if he could get out - and we let him - but asked if he really did need money for food - he said he did - we gave him half of what we had - $6.00 - never carry cash when traveling!. 
None of the above is brag – just simple truth dedicated to all those who’ve served our nation positively will to sacrifice all – for those either unable or unwilling to defend their liberties and freedoms. Thank you Sisters and Brothers – for some of us soon our watch will be over – but we serve and endure to the end.

Smile - remember there's no such thing as an empty weapon - and all are locked and loaded – and veterans know how and when to use them - chuck

We’re the world’s best fighter

we’re the magic of the white knight

we’re the sharpshooter called soldier

men/women serving their nation

women/men honoring God-Family

who are we really-we’re Americans

we come from all walks of life

we walk together as we should

we talk quietly and live the same

we will fight for our freedoms

and we’ll fight for others as well

as we’ve all done before

we’ll continue till we are no longer!
