Just the Air Farce, and they're not the real Military.

Yeah, the handful of Air Farce people that are in combat kill from 15,000 feet, then fly back to the base that night and eat a steak dinner at the "O" club. Some fucking warriors they are.

You are forgetting much. One thing you are forgetting is these guys:



You know--the PJs? The ones the Special Forces call when they get into trouble?

MF sure, but no rear at Khe San....

Even I know that, and the closest I ever got to Asia was Venice Beach.

Khe San was in the bush. I wouldn't call anybody there an REMF.

I was at Cam Ranh Bay for 9 months and DaNang for 3 months. That was REMF territory.

What he told me is that he knows of no one in the Military that is going to vote for Hillary.



So, it was a magnanimous gesture on my part to only give 80% to Trump.



One that I now regret.


Of course. Because we all know that Trump knows so much more than the generals..... 😉
