George wouldn't/couldn't/won't give a damn about his past or the havoc it wreaks now or will wreak on the future. His picture is next to Webster's definition of a sociopath. I can think of nothing, absolutely nothing, that would make him think twice about what he is doing to our military personnel, their families, this country. He, and his "people," are way beyond the capability of being affected by anything a mere mortal can say or do.<BR/><BR/>My wish for this Christmas and New Year is that we can get through the next year w/o destroying this Country, and her people, beyond repair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-77753092445947748522007-12-24T13:45:00.000-05:002007-12-24T13:45:00.000-05:00So imagine the mothers and friends whose young men...So imagine the mothers and friends whose young men were killed or disappeared into the maw of World War II. Half a million, give or take. It would have been another million if they'd invaded Japan, which they would have. These people still live in the nursing homes -- a few. You could ask them about the Roberts and Williams that used to share their eggnog. <BR/><BR/>My father trained 4-F troops for 18 months, an enormously long time. He taught them Judo and made them run on however many legs they had. He taught them to ride motorcycles and forced himself to do everything he made them do. And all for nothing, as you say. They went to North Africa and never came back.jj mollohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011855944240477996noreply@blogger.com
