The ESTABLISHMENT Generation that is today villified as old & in the way, were the generation of 18 yr olds that were given little choice in fighting a jungle war so few were prepared for.They were Drafted.
This came on the heels of a generation of young men & women who also knew war & did more than beat each other up on social media for the fact of war.
They defeated Hitler's Nazi spread.
The fact of war has always been a threat for every generation & some were never given the option of fighting it directly, or from a computer screen in front of their TV.
THE ESTABLISHMENT Generation today so mocked & degraded by the young voters today, were also 18 when War was all around them.
A reminder of history is in order
---------
VIETNAM
The dates used by the Associated Press for official U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War are August 1964 (the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution) to January 1973 (the Paris Peace Accords), although U.S. military activities and intervention in Vietnam spanned from 1955 to 1975.
The role of the United States in the Vietnam War began after World War II and escalated into full commitment during the Vietnam War from 1955 to 1973. The U.S. involvement in South Vietnam stemmed from 20 long years of political and economic action.
Since there was no declaration of the war, exact dates are sketchy. However, it is now widely accepted that the Vietnam War started on November 1, 1955 and lasted until April 30, 1975, which is roughly 20 years, or 19 years, 180 days to be precise.
Maybe this will garner some respect from those who screech ESTABLISHMENT who were given little choice in being sent to a jungle war.

Some education is in order.
From Vietnam as 18 yr olds, to the Middle East as they grew to middle age, This dreadful 'ESTABLISHMENT' generation has known war their entire lives.

Ortiz's father said the bullet hit no major organs?
It hit his large and small intestine. Also his liver. Those spread fecal matter through his body. He is a fight for his life against infection. He is in fact in critical condition.
You can do it Big Papi. Fight.

We just have to go at night!
Sadly it could indeed be a fact in another day or two. After all Mars is part of the moon.
Not sure which song is more appropriate.

Sadly I read comments on an OP about these very issues the other night. Dr Colleen McNicholas was told to break the law, falsify records and in fact break her oath in order to save women from Missouri's laws. Fact is she would be charged and arrested. lose her license and be one of the dwindling providers to women for abortion and needed health care.
Let me tell you a little about her.
On the Front Lines of the Abortion Wars
Dr. Colleen McNicholas zig-zags across the Midwest—considered an "abortion desert"—to provide women with care that's harder and harder to come by.
McNicholas is one of a dwindling group of doctors performing abortions in the Midwest, which, along with the South, is known to pro-choice advocates as the abortion desert. According to the Guttmacher Institute, as of 2011, the most recent year for which data are available, 94 percent of counties in the Midwest had no abortion clinic to serve the 13.2 million women of reproductive age who live there. She works two days every three weeks at the Planned Parenthood in St. Louis—the only remaining abortion clinic in Missouri—flies once a month to the Wichita, Kansas–based clinic where Dr. George Tiller practiced until he was shot dead in 2009 by an antiabortion zealot, and in June will begin traveling to Oklahoma City to work at a newly opened clinic. "Part of the problem with being so committed and feeling so passionate about an issue is that it's hard to say no," McNicholas, 35, says. "It's hard to say, 'I can't do that,' because that means somebody is going without care, and what that means is, they're probably going to have a baby they don't want. So ultimately, I end up saying, 'I can do one more day' or 'I can go one more place.'"
When she's not crisscrossing the Midwest, she's treating patients at her obstetrics and gynecology practice at St. Louis' Washington University School of Medicine, where she is an attending physician and assistant professor. She also drives two hours to Jefferson City, Missouri, a few times a year to testify before the state Legislature in opposition to bills restricting access to abortions. Once a year, she goes to Washington, D.C., with other doctors to lobby legislators that science ought to trump politics when it comes to providing a procedure that, according to Guttmacher, one-third of all American women will have before age 45. Some nights, she meets with the board members of the abortion-access fund she founded to help Missourian women afford the procedure. (At Planned Parenthood in St. Louis, patients pay from $545 to $1,470, most often out of pocket, as state law prohibits Missouri-based insurance companies from covering the cost, except when the woman's life is at risk.) Whatever precious hours she has left are spent at home with her 5-year-old son (a basketball star in the making) and her partner, an anesthesiologist, who didn't want her name used out of concern for her safety.

McNicholas leaves her house around 5 a.m. for a flight to Wichita, Kansas.

Sure. Great idea. Let her say no and lose one more of the dwindling troop of doctors that are helping these women. She is putting her life on the line helping these women, just ask Dr Tiller. Oh, wait you can't. He was shot dead by an anti abortion zealot.
This woman is assisting women with their rights, their choice over their own bodies. She does it at a risk, her own life.
This woman is NOT a Rookie. She knows her patients, the woman and she is risking her life to save them.
Oh when the straight go marching in.
Oh when the straight go marching in. I will not be in that number. When the straight go marching in.
Boston.
Boston has issued a permit for a ‘Straight Pride’ parade in August

Matt Sahady has strong-armed the city of Boston into giving him a permit for a Straight Pride parade in August.

So who is Matt Sahady. Oh, just your average Trump-loving, commie-hating extremist who wants to throw America’s enemies from a helicopter.
Sahady is a force behind the Boston chapter of a small far-right group called Resist Marxism. While Resist Marxism would like to have you think it’s all about protecting America from leftists, it traffics in anti-Semitism and white supremacism.

Sahady’s stunt is another reminder of the strong connection between the far right, white supremacy and anti-LGTBQ hatred. The Straight Pride movement is inextricably linked to the White Pride movement. The only saving grace: you just know those floats are going to be pathetic.

I will be there. No I will not be there in their number. I will stand with the protesters. Yes I am white, female and straight and I will protest the hell out of them.
Jaysus! What it is about guys, some guys not all guys, that feel their sex and color is more important that the rest of us. PATHETIC!
White supremacists can kiss my ass. There is no place for you in this world.
