  I did my basic training at Ft. Dix

  What percent of the stalin.com regulars ever served in the military? Most of you don't know squat about the realities of military life and war. You like the ugly rhetoric of Ayres-Dhorn. You think they are the heros. You view vets as some kind of criminals.

  My best memory of Fort. Dix was meeting one of my few lifelong friends there. He insisted he was not going to fight and ended up being sent to medic school in Texas. I was coming back from visiting him at that airport last Christmas, when, for the first time in my life, I saw our troops spontaneously cheered by busy travelers.

  I lost touch with my other good Fort Dix friend, a Greek American guy, who was sent to a different advanced training camp from my new post in the Deep South. His family brought us a big Greek feast one weekend, and, just because I was his best buddy, they lavished lots of this wonderful food on me.

  I am reliving this for you to let most of you know something you almost certainly fail to recognize in your shallow, little, propaganda filled progressive minds. You can never understand the deep friendships which are formed during the rigors of training and serving together in the military. You pass over the fact that these dirt bags were planning to blow up troops at Ft. Dix, and most of you still fawn all over them. Now these turds are "educators." How wunnerful, as Li'l Abner would say.

  We are fortunate that it is the nature of youth to rebel and question their elders' wisdom. It's difficult to brainwash American boys and girls, because they are exposed to so many different sources of information. I am fortunate to know lots of teens, and they see right through their dullard pee cee social studies teachers in high school and college. Their best teachers help them learn to think for themselves and they know this.

  There are many "bands of brothers" who have fought for freedoms many of you take for granted. We are not going to go away.
