I am not saying people of color shouldn't have leading rolls. Idris Ebela is one of the finest actors in Hollywood today, he's gotten some shit movies but I would like to see him in a good movie. I just don't think that something based on a historical event should be altered or sugar coated.

Haha

Good turn around. I grew up poor but happy. There wer a few times in the 70&80s that suck pretty bad. The last recession wasn't as bad as the few before it. I rember having bean or pea soup a lot. When I went in the service my pay for housing got screwed up and I had to use a credit card for food and stuff. Ramen noodles are tasty only when it's a choice lol. I lived off base so I would have to pay (very reasonable prices) to eat on base. I am glad you got good things going for you.

Happy Birthday ! Wtf is wrong with these assholes, my dad was pretty heavy handed when it came to discipline , but absolute respect for my mom. Mom did most of the disciplining , dad usually handled it with threats. I had a crazy, but good childhood. My dad was an Airborne Ranger in Korea, I know some of the shit he did was from bad expiriences there. I never understood some of things he said or did until, I got out of the service myself. This world can be a terribly bad place, but there's also so much wonder and beauty too. I hope that both of you find happiness .

Painfully

I have raised several step kids, and still am. I am getting a bit long in the tooth for it but I would like to beat your step dad with a baseball bat and put him in the hospital so he doesn't have to pretend to be crippled. Talk to a psychiatrist or therapist. Get it out to a professional so it doesn't take the rest of your life. I feel for you.

And now we call them politicians

I had never heard of him before the movie came out. Audi Murrphy went into acting so everyone knew about him. Doss was just a low key little dude that came through at the worst of times. Shit , his heart must have grown bigger than the Grinch try to save the Whoville Christmas presents, lol. Just think of the guys that he dragged out of there that had called him a coward, that would be a hard thing to live with.

Have you ever seen Hacksaw Ridge , about Desomd Doss. Amazing, I think every American should know about him. I looked at some photos of the actual area that his story takes place, damn, when I was in my prime, under ideal conditions, I don't think I could have move the weight that guy saved in lives. Throw in a division of japs trying to kill you and it would just get harder.

I would've wanted my medic treating our wounded instead of engaging the enemy. Who would take care of you and the rest of us if you got hit ? I understand your frustration though. It's hard to stand by at times.

Someone has to lead the crackheads and even they won't listen to the Karens. Hell, enough Karens and they may just load up a few spaceships and vacate the base.

Look at his face. That dogs never been ashamed of anything it's done.

Yeah. Unfortunately,restraint can be lost in chaos. Even if the military did nothing but watch, a lot of people could find themselves trampled or crushed into the fencing.

They probably agree with you but want you to stay focussed on your primary obligation. Nothing in my experience was worse than having orders not engage a group of murderous rapist sacks of shit because of the mission at hand. I had kind of a fucked up dream a few weeks back that I was back in Africa taking out the fuckheads that took kids and forced them to fight and kill/die for their cause. I thought about it for a while and reasoned that the ones doing the "recruiting" more than likely had the same shit done to them, and so on and so on. I don't keep up with the news anymore. I hope that shit stopped. How the hell do you deprogram a kid trained to kill ? Evil shit.

Haha

I hope it's a huge noshow , if it's actually a plan. The drones are a bit more modern, but the hellfire missiles are still devastating today as they were 30 years ago. The governor could use state police and national guard to stop them, but that can get out of control too. I really hope that it's all a joke.

Did you say that with the Val Kilmer, "I'll be your huckleberry" voice ?
