I explained this on Voat several years ago: Some of you know that I am a Veteran of the Vietnam War. A Former US Marine (MCRD San Diego, Camp Las Pulgas, etc.). I spent 14 months at Balboa Naval Hospital and received my Rolling Ride there. I am not bitter and I am not a "victim"; I am a Marine who happened to get blown up in Hue City, 1968, while leading my men and killing the Enemy.
My feelings about those ( such as this "reporter" and his ilk) are of pity for their ignorance and mental deficiencies. My loathing is for the culture and political inculcation which breeds their misguided thinking. The disgust that fills me most is for the politicians who gladly feast upon the fears of the electorate -- as maggots feed upon feces.
Semper Fidelis is not just a Latin motto -- it is a creed by which ALL loyal American Citizens should live: always faithful to God, Our Republic, our Constitution and our families. If someone attempts to take those tenets of my creed away, I will make them pay with their blood and entrails.
