THE COLONEL WAS RIGHT ON TARGET
2015 Dec 21 from E Lapinkas
In 1968, at Ft. Ord, CA, our company of 200 ‘trainees’ went to the anti-tank weapon range. In that ‘block of instruction’ 200 anti-tank rockets were fired. The instructor reminded us that we would need to aim these weapons very carefully (in combat situations) as they cost the taxpayer $50 ea. So, lets see – $50 X 200 just for training purposes was $10,000 ( in 1968 dollars ).

As I recall, LBJ sent us there to fight Communist expansionism. Who has ruled Viet Nam for the last 42 years? Hmmm, let me see. Wern’t those Communists? I knew men in my combat unit who never got to see their wives again or their children grow. This was to “stop Communist expansion?”

What has ALWAYS expanded is out of control spending in the military / industrial complex. This is not to mention useless govt programs.

NEW CONTAGIOUS DISEASE
2015 Dec 18 from Larry Spitler
Dear Dear Friends, I am sorry that I have not been consistently responsive lately to your emails. I have been somewhat under the weather since my doctors informed me that I have an acute case of Post Islamic Stress Trauma with Apologetic White House Fatigue (PIST-AWF).

For those of you who do not know what that is, PIST-AWF is a newly defined disease that is found to be widespread and highly contagious. Symptoms include, but may not be limited to: Severe pain of the scalp from pulling your own hair while viewing the President pander to Muslim terrorists. Loose bowels from swallowing the fact we elected Obama twice. Extreme hunger due to vomiting from nightly seeing terrorists murdering innocent people.

If you feel you have Post Islamic Stress Trauma with Apologetic White House Fatigue, please notify your local election board and place your name on the list for a cure. It is hoped that the cure will be available in November of 2016.
