When it really happens: SHTF...

The sad part to me is I wore the uniform for 35 years to allow these very people around me to make their own decisions, freedom of choice. Now they're knuckling under without a question or protest. Wonder what the guys that went under before us would think? It may take several years, maybe after I'm gone...but it'll come to light.

Not very much.

Although I had a very limited service period compared to yours, I understand that perfectly.
If I think of my dad, who saw the war, or my grandparents, who really lived it (and my granddad father’s side fought in both), I can’t do anything but agree. Even us, guys from the late 60ies early 70ies, we are just... different from the new generations. We had a free childhood. Something which most people can’t imagine anymore now.
Today, my great joy was my youngest daugthter when we came to her school. The kids can’t touch each other, they can’t even lend each other a pencil!!! But when we got to 50 metres from school, one of her friends ran toward her and embraced her shouting like crazy. I felt so gooooooooooooood!!!!
When another kid said that it was not allowed, i winked and she ran into the school building, happy!
There is a limit to everything!
God save the kids!
