For the last three days Ive been talking to all of my current and former military brothers in arms that did time in AFG. The only words I can think of to articulate the universal emotions are something close to mild shock, betrayal, and remorse. I dont know if there is a single word for it that exists in our current lexicon.
These folks lost friends, have PTSD for the horrific shit they had to survive, sacrificed by missing significant life events, missed the opportunity to say goodbye to loved ones while deployed, and much much more.
Q said “military is the only way”. When the shock wears off and turns to anger ... i think Pandoras Box is gonna bust wide open. Millions of betrayed and hyper-pissed off Combat Veterans are gonna pour out. Something one told me is seared into my brain: “fuk it, I should have died back there anyway. I have been living in pain and have nightmares, and for what now”. If this happens, Jan 6th is gonna look like a garden party. That WAS NOT an insurrection. This will be. If it happens, u will see the largest, most well armed standing army in the history of man kind manifest overnight. There is no ‘security’ in existence that will save them. No wall that wont be quickly breached. No where they can run, no where they can hide. No bunker will protect them.
This might be the military Q was referring to.
Just my own thoughts from what I have observed.
Former Airborne Ranger here. I served in the mid 70's to mid 80's. I was lucky that it was a peaceful time and always feel bad for what all you youngsters have had to go through in the past 20+ years.
I concur with your hypothesis. It is up to all of us to right this ship through whatever means necessary. When they come for our firearms and that will be sooner than later, that's the red line in the sand.
My best bud was 160th. The guys in his squad were awesome. Always up for a good time, any time. He past a few years back but any time I meet someone that’s a ranger I find they’re a lot like my buddy; a really good dude. I miss that fucker quite a bit.
