Folks, I'm still a handshake account but I hope somebody will listen. I've always been a patriot. When I was a child, all I wanted to do is be a soldier and serve my country. I believed in the American dream and wanted to pay it back any way I could. I was wounded with a crushed spine which ended my career. After a long recovery, I was able to serve my community as a public safety officer and sheriff's deputy until my back finally gave up on me. I've always been a lifelong Republican.
I wasn't excited about Trump when he decided to run but my wife showed me videos of him going back to the eighties. I was sold on him then. I am now a staunch Trumpian and am ready to follow his lead. President Trump is the very definition and shining example of what it means to be a patriot.
Our vote is our voice, that is how it works. Our voice was stolen. Republicans sided with the Democrats and sealed the deal. Now it is revealed they did so because of Corporate money and business deals. I feel my service, my commitment was for nothing. I feel cheapened and worthless. I feel betrayed at the cellular level. Everything I stood for, everything I believed was a lie, a damn lie.
I'm hurting, friends. Deeply. Soulfully. This was a profound betrayal and I am beyond stunned. I'm angry, yes, but hurt. I'm drowning in it. As a former soldier, I want to fight. I want to destroy. The truth is, I can't anymore. To add insult to injury, I'm a paper tiger. I've got the knowledge and knowhow but that and a few bucks will get you a cup of coffee and a newspaper.
How, as a man, an American, am I supposed to react to such a profound betrayal? Am I to just shrug it off? Was my service, my honors and medals, my spine just bullshit? I'm lost, friends. I'm deep in the woods and I have no landmarks to navigate this wilderness.
you and about 80+ million of too
Just know that the many people here that read your post, thank you for your service and understand your feeling of betrayal. Stay true to yourself and the nation, and speak up! Your sacrifices weren't in vain, this fight is far from over.
It was an honor to serve, truly. To have that service sullied by the utter betrayal of those that put us in harm's way is a soul crusher. I'm in this for the long haul, friend, I just need orders.
Welcome! I agree with you -- we feel all the same way. Use this board to vent and find folks that are like minded and agree with you. For at least a while, we need to be prepared for what's coming (because many aren't, and they're going to get hit harder than we will... they still have faith in the system).
Stay angry, just be careful to focus that anger in the right place (away from friends and family, and more to the traitors). Keep calling out the Hypocrisy and the fraud, and laugh at them when they realize what they've done. It's the only way for them to understand.
We can't save a country when half the country still wants to throw it away; until they're ready to fight like we are we just hang on for the ride. Only when most of us are aware can we do anything major. Trump asked for no violence, so there's no violence. He's in the process of figuring things out and a way forward right now, just has some shit to finish up first.
Thank you for some sage advice. I truly appreciate it. I hope we can come together and find a way forward. This is a battlefield I am unfamiliar with. Warfare is pretty simple and I actually felt relaxed in battle. The rules were simple and straightforward, if unconventional at times. It made sense to me, in a strange way. Politics is something else entirely. There is no honor, no brotherhood, only lies and betrayal.
I'm really angry too; I'm trying very hard to not go ballistic right now on people who don't know any better. I've learned to just unplug sometimes and to just stay angry at the politicians and the media, but not the leftists who don't know any better. They really, truly, think DJT is everything the media told them he is. They're really that blind. A huge part of what we do will need to be to help them see Biden and his fraud for what it really is but it has to happen in baby steps. And they need to be personally affected/hurt by it to see it. There's no other way.
it's all so underhanded! I'm trying to keep the faith in that I know, even if Trump won the presidency this time, that'd we just be dealing with this underhandedness again in just 4 years, and it starts all over. The only way to fix it is to tackle it, and deal with the pain, anger and humiliation right now.
I'm trying. I really am. Betrayal, to a solider, is something profound and terrible. It is utterly soul crushing. I'm fighting hard but I feel like I need a shower from the ass raping going on. I'm beyond angry. I'm pissed. I never considered myself to be a hater, but friend, I am a hater now.
So am I! Believe me, so am I. I'm even mad at my parents and my friends, but trying very hard to keep it in check. Trump asked for no violence and Unity. He'll get the no violence part, but he sure as hell wont' get the Unity side of things! We're going to remind the CCP and their cronies every minute or every day that they're all traitors, etc.
The only unity I will accept is with fellow patriots. We have been labeled with the most heinous and evil pejoratives imaginable, for years. We have been lied to. We have been stolen from. We have been utterly betrayed. No, I will not unify with traitors. I will not unify with those who seek to support the very countries who seek our downfall.
I don't know what the answer is to all of this. I know how my forebears would have reacted, however. I pray, deeply, that it doesn't come to that.
I hear you but.... Naw, have faith in what is happening :) It is coming... If not well your feelings are absolute truth for you and us. But.....
Thank you
In a week things will be clearer, I hope. I don't think the Xiden Regime actually knows the situation Trump left them walk into.
I admit to being unfamiliar with the ways of politicians, that's why I love President Trump. He was unfamiliar as well, looks like, but I don't fault him for it - in fact, I admire him even more. I'd not make it far in that arena where lies and betrayals are a badge of honor to those degenerates.
Stay pissed, we begin by elections at local/state level. Best way to reform vote integrity. Only state legislators can certify. No more fraud Govs and SOS's
That sounds like a sound plan. What are your thoughts on starting a Patriot party? I've already stopped donating to Republicans and I've absolutely stopped supporting businesses and sports who kowtow to China. I'm willing to do whatever is asked of me and is within my capacity to do so to stand tall.
We are with you. Worldwide. Most probably also feel like we need to hit back. hard.
Thank you. These are troubling times. I feel the world has gone mad. As for hitting back, you have no idea how hard I want to. I'd be taken out pretty quickly though as my spine has taken a lot of damage. Hasn't stopped my will to fight, however, any way I can.
The other thing to do right now, might be to help train others with your combat exp.
Most civilians have zero idea where to even start, or what drills to begin with, fireteams, shootnscoot etc.
I wish you were closer to us up here, your exp is valuable.
Combat training is pretty simple, in all truthfulness. Shoot, communicate, move, etc. It's discipline, camaraderie and trust in the chain of command that's the difficult but entirely essential part. Without essential links like a command structure, intelligence, communication, supply, (Staff structure S1, S2, S3, S4 ...) etc. I don't see a logical progression. I'd be happy to share what I can.
As a veteran, I have to be careful about disseminating information. I have clearance obligations which can be prosecuted under the UCMJ so I have to be doubly careful. I also have physical limitations. The VA can revoke my enrollment under a directive from the military. Uncle Sam Ain't Released Me Yet.
Totally understandable 👍 Any militia or freedom movement would be lucky to have you.
I'll help any way I can.
Glad to have ya.
'Member that vid with the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling that's been on here a few times? Well, we are at this part:
"...or bear to see the things you gave your life to, broken
and stoop and build them up with worn-out tools."
That is what I intend to do. I think DJT has let up two trial balloons in the last week or so, one for the "Patriot Party" and another for "Voter Integrity."
I'm not wild about a third party, although if he follows the model of the TEA Parties, which merged with the Republican Party, I am fine with it.
For me, though, the big issue is "Voter Integrity" along with voter registration. I can see some of the pieces to this already starting to coalesce. The lawsuits did not go away, and will eventually go through the courts.
DJT has been impeached, and a trial schedule proposed. If he is permitted to offer a defense (this is not a foregone conclusion), he can present the reasons why we demanded an audit.
Take a look also at LookAheadAmerica.org, which is focusing on registering disaffected voters.
You may be laid up with old injuries, but you write well. You can have a role in our response to this mess, anywhere you pick.
I resent having to pick up the pieces of a campaign stolen by fraud, but I'll do it. I hope you will join me.
Thank you for the poem, friend. I've never read Kipling before and was moved deeply by what he penned. Thank you.
You make some great points and I concur. Along with voter integrity, we need to focus on election integrity, i.e. the apparatus and officials. I'm always willing to help in the fight for my country, my friend. Always. I'm not familiar with this battlefield, I'll freely admit, but I'm willing to learn. As for role, I'm awaiting orders. I'll serve with you.
Thank you, friend, I appreciate it. I only know how to fight, so I'm in this any way I can. As for a physical fight, that would be the wrong move. It might come to that but there has to be options open to us. I'm not politically minded, i.e. I'm not they type who lies and betrays sacred vows with impunity, so I don't know how to navigate this battlefield. I'm hoping those that understand this environment can find us a way forward.
First thank you for your service. Second NEVER EVER EVER GIVE UP. We have just yet begun to fight. As much as I hate it too, Biden is the perfect candidate to expose the hypocrisy of the left. 4 years of red pills being distributed faster than the COVID vaccines. Let them F it up and let THE PEOPLE demand Trump fix it in 2024.
It’s up to Trump and his team to expose the fraud. They have 4 years. Exposing this will allow us to move to a more secure voting mechanism. How do we get this message out while being suppressed? Well that is up to Trump and the media empire he can create and BLOW all other MSM out of the water.
“THE BEST IS YET TO COME”

It was an honor to serve. They will not take that from me. So much has been exposed. Talk about a gut punch. I'm hurt, deeply, but not demoralized or unwilling to fight. My family tree is full of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. Many of us have also served our communities as doctors, nurses, ems, law enforcers and firefighters. All I know is service. All I know is how to fight.
Thank you.
I think that WWII was a just war, maybe the last one to be so. My family has always served and we lost members in every theatre of combat. It sickens me, friend, to think that we lost so much in service to an ungrateful government who chose to steal our very voice and break a sacred vow.
