I don’t know how many good years I have left but I would rather die putting M2 Ball through all the various enemies of freedom than the way I have seen so many wither on the vine in nursing homes and hospice. I lost my father-in-law in January after four years of cancer. Lost my mother in August to old age and dementia and or Alzheimers after two really f’d up years of misery. Not for me if I ever get to decide. If I’m in great shape when I’m 85 I hope I get hit by a bus or a falling satellite or something so my death isn’t “a blessing.” Even when it is, I hate to hear that f’ing expression! Much rather my death be a “beau geste.”
Anybody remember the Indian played by Michael Ansara in “Centennial?” He staked himself out to go out in a blaze of glory and kill the war chief of the rival tribe, Rude Water. Rude Water was played by the guy who was Mr. Clean in commercials in later years.
I just finished reading memoir from one of Mosby’s Rangers. Mortally wounded, of the men’s last words were, “At least I died for a good cause”. We should all be so lucky, especially those of us past our child-raising years.

Aw, gee, shucks, this is but a humble Juncker man trying his best to serve humanity up to his lord, the prince of darkness.
Once more unto the breach, Henry V, Shakespear, you say? Spoken like a veteran, Marines?
I believed Kissinger and the domino theory, not again my friend.

Each country in the EU wants to command the EU Army but wants the others to pay for it. What a joke. Their financing plan is to use other peoples money. They may field an army but it could be defeated by the NYPD.

And….. it’s gone. That didn’t take long.
“Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!”
The account, V_of_Europe is gone, too.
At least he remembered to wear pants.
The people have absolutely no idea how much power they have if only they weren’t so fearful for their lives.
We all die, no one here gets out alive, what better way to serve eternity than to be the first ones to go into the breach.
Their time approaches.

Touched a nerve?
Memory holed within an hour.
“When it becomes serious, you have to lie.”
Consider that honestly, seriously.
