Best thing in the world would be for people with integrity (only interested in doing the right thing for the country--never mind which party) get into government.
True. Too many people trying to be something and not enough trying to do something. Thier loyalty is to the club when it should be to the mission.
The boomers messed up during the clinton years when they acted butthurt for a minute, then handed it all over to the libs and went home. They kept mumbling something about how a real shooting war would put egg on the libtards faces and straighten it all out. 30yrs and a couple a shooting wars later...
You blame it on the boomers and the boomers blame it on the millennials and the millennials… look there’s enough blame to ho around for everyone to share including you. Every generation has done their part busting their butts trying to save the Republic just as they’ve got to admit their generation screwed things up more than it was. The problem is it gets exponentially worse with every subsequent generation because only 10% are willing to do the heavy lifting. It’s like that with everything from the job site to congress.
I was speaking to a fairly specific topic and seem to have triggered some kind of overarching sore spot. Perhaps more detail is warranted.
I grew up in the gap between gen x and gen y. I come from a 'cold warrior' family who all did time in the service, vietnam era or before. Most went into defense industry jobs post service. When the cold war ended and slick willy took command they all swore up and down (with a bizzare kind of pride I must say) they'd never let THIER kids serve in the 'new army' or the 'kinder gentler' military. They were partially bitter about their forever jobs evaporating along with the cold war. They also seemed to think that keeping conservative kids from going into the military was a good thing. Scored an own goal with that one.
Guess who didn't give a shit about willy being the commander in chief, libtard boomer parents. I did my time as an enlisted because family seemed to think it had a right to dictate whether I served or not. Getting a commission ain't easy when your own people are running block. Its also a bit shitty watching the people who signed up for small scale socialism get a bump to the head of the line. I did my time inspite of people who want to bitch about too many libs running the military and government so forgive my lack of sympathy. We shouldn't be hamstringing our own out of spite while pretending to do them a favor.
Boycotting a career field only helps if the world stops without you. News flash, it doesnt. If they want you gone, boycotting may well be the same as quitting and handing over the keys.
If you want more libs moving up the ranks and signing off on stupid bullshit, go ahead and let them have the slots without any competition. Because that's how it works now.
We should be pushing to get our people qualified and moving up. Not telling them to skip school and be a welder because fuk the gubmint.
So at the risk of sounding like a dick, OK Boomer.
So what’s your problem with people who skip school and become welders? Not everyone wants or needs a piece of paper from an “online university” to attain their American dream. That’s an elitist attitude if there ever was one.

running for potus in 19 years
Catch you on the debate stage ;)
See you both there.
Take care of your knees and back while serving - as best as you can at least.
I could do anything when I was 19 but the shit catches up to you eventually. Every unsafe lift or hard fall wears shit out.
Good luck young man.
My body felt this. Sound advice.
Save your back, knees and nuts when you are young. You might want to use them when you grow up.
This is the way
