While this is true.

Where have you been. ???
The republicans have been cutting funding for survivors forever .
Now that most have died from terrible heart wrenching maladies, now you and all your patriot pals want to help.
I don’t know if I’m angry , disgusted. Ir just plain awed at the stupidity of your “patriotic” co conspirators.

fullspinzoo

You support a president who:
1) Left American citizens behind enemy lines to get behieaded or executed
2) Who promised specifically to get them all out. ~ I would never trust this lying piece of s**t again.
3) Biden lied, and people died!!!!!!
4) $83 Billion in very sophisticated military hardware handed over to terrorists. They were using Ford trucks with antiquated guns on the back before.
5) It has been said that women in Afghanistan will die a "slow death". YOU support this bulls**t and you want to talk to me about patriotism? Go away you troll.

They're talking about patriotism....something you wouldn't know the first thing about.

You don’t know what I support or don’t support so stop pretending you do, it makes you look foolish.
Someone should talk to you about patriotism, soon.
Before you get hurt.

Patriotism? What is patriotism? In your highly informed opinion?

Here's a thought.

When Hitler invaded Russia in June, 1941, the Russian army was ill-prepared to meet the onslaught and throughout the summer were pushed back almost to Moscow and the Volga river. Uniformed political commissars were embedded with Russian army units. Their job was to aggressively enforce loyalty to Stalin and his party. Their fighting spirit was grounded upon that concept.

Unlike Hitler's troops, the Russian soldiers did not have to swear a blood oath to their leader and his party, but any soldier displaying disloyalty - like throwing down his gun and running away - was considered a t*****r and shot.

In August 1942, the German 6th and 4th Panzer armies descended on Stalingrad on the Volga river. They surrounded the city and with support from the Luftwaffe, pretty much obliterated it. The Russians were trapped and their hopes for a successful defense was waning fast. The great industrial city named after "The Boss" was about to be lost.

Then something happened that radically changed the complexion of the defense of Stalingrad and enlivened the Russian troops fighting spirit.

Nikta Khrushchev, Stalin's chief political commissar, personally delivered a message to the troops in Stalingrad. First to the embedded commissars and then on to the troops.

Russian soldiers would no longer fight for nor defend their Boss and his party,
they would fight for MOTHER RUSSIA.

Khrushchev's edict awakened and emboldened what most of the Russian soldiers had felt all along. They were defending their families, their children, their friends, homes, farms, businesses, and property.

The result was just short of a miracle. the Russians captured the entire German 6th army. It was the largest surrender of German troops in Russia during the entire war.


When Donald Trump announced his candidacy for POTUS, he didn't do that out of selfishness, or to put another notch in his gun, or to add a glowing paragraph to his already impressive resume.

He, like millions of us, were well aware of the advancing socialist threat to ourselves, our families and children, to our friends, homes, farms, businesses, and property. To our American way of life in its entirety.

MAGA was not Donald Trump's personal motto, it wasn't just a campaign slogan, or a clever idea to put on a bumper sticker. "Make America Great Again" is a war cry.

Put succinctly, making America great again is not a political objective, rather it is a citizen's commitment to defeating an existential threat to our nation as a whole. Very much like the Russians at Stalingrad.

That is patriotism in its proper context.

So, are you a patriot or a party loyalist?

Agreed! but can we?? especially with current leadership? I saw him yawning at NY Memorial service. I don't think he realizes which end is up!!
