  1. libs always use and abuse to military for their misguided ideologies. and they wonder why the military is 25% below recruiting levels.if we had a draft the military wouldnt be a testing ground.

  2. The jabs? Again? Well, it’s some kind of relief to know that they don’t discriminate, that they do in the evil as well as the good.

  3. And another one bites the dust.. gotta love those vaccines! That is, If you’re a brainwashed liberal moron!

  4. Since Carter opened military service to transgendered service members and combat roles to women but is now deceased, can that policy be sunsetted? (Asking for a friend)

  5. He was a bad Sec. of Defense. My question is what was his possible involvement with the Clinton crime family?
