Yep. I gotta friend who is being deployed to Afghanistan in 3 weeks... I just found out today. Hopefully I will see him again.

>We reach total corruption when we've ceased knowing that we're corrupt.

..that or we just don't care or have given up and accept it...or all 3. Either way it's not good. The widespread corruption of the Trump administration shows you how low we've got.

Well...I'm hardly a religious person - -but aside from that I'd like to see justice before everyone dies and meets 'god'. I'm just fed up with these wimpy politicians who are afraid of the NRA and seem to be more interested in campaign donations that mass murder in the schools. I heard this latest guy had an AR-15. I'm tired of NRA and redneck idiots who think that someone actually needs to own such a weapon. No one is ever going to convince me that a civilian in the USA needs such a weapon.. Change the laws, make amendment to the constitution or whatever if necessary -- but damn do SOMETHING. All these wimpy politicians, as far as I'm concerned, are partly to blame for all these mass shootings - because it keeps happening and they won't do sh_it about it. I'm far from a single issue voter -- but this issue is for sure on my top 5 list.. sickening.
