As we were clearing the rooms, we came across a classroom which I thought at first was an art room because I saw a lot of red paint all over the walls and in the far left corner I thought I observed a pile of dirty laundry. … As I continued to stare at the room not being able to figure out what I was looking at, I realized that the red paint was actually blood and the pile of dirty laundry were actually dead bodies. Carlo Guerra, state trooper. Newtown.

As I stared in disbelief, I recognized the face of a little boy on top of a pile. ... I then began to realize that there were other children around the little boy and that this was actually a pile of dead children. … I tried to count the number of dead between rooms #10 and #8, but my mind would not count beyond the low teens and I kept getting confused. William Cario, police sergeant. Newtown.

“You can only imagine that gun being pointed down and shooting as much as you can into a body, what it would do. It’ll make you unrecognizable in a heartbeat. So, yes, I believe it, because I saw it with my own eyes. Rusty Duncan, volunteer firefighter. Sutherland Springs.”

Well you don't have my reason . Way back when we had the draft some 19 year old High school seniors were being drafted before they finished high school . within a week after graduation they were on an airplane headed for basic training then to Viet Nam .-- Fresh out of high school !!-- From the time I was in the 7th grade this was going on . When I came of age around a dozen of my classmates were drafted just this way . Boys I had known all my life . a few came back in body bags and others full of schrapnel and missing body parts . My parents impressed on me that I was no better than they were and I enlisted . Meanwhile --So also Trump with a silver spoon in his mouth had a liar doctor say he had bone spurs and He famously said -- I bravely fought my own battle avoiding STDs in the sexual revolution during the Viet Nam war ---

I am a trainer on a tug boat. I teach these kids how to tank barges that carry every nasty chemical known to man. Two 30,000 barges load out more than two miles of rail. I also am a steersman so I drive the boat as well. I am 55 and the quality of people coming to this industry are lacking a lot. The crew I am with at the moment would not qualify for their positions ten years ago. I am the oldest man on the crew and out work, out think,out tank and out drive everyone on this boat. I had retired but was offered a stupid amount of money to help them out of a big problem. There is no work ethic any more, half these people have done hard time . The other half quit school or lack god given common sense . I once taught a kid how to operate a washing machine , not kidding.. I have in a way become trapped in this line of work as I have been out here 20 some years and have tryed to come back to land , institutshamlized some what yes. I hope that helps
