(70,816 posts)Our base in the desert was hit by a Scud missile. It landed about a quarter of a mile away, and nobody was hurt. But my first reaction when the explosion happened was not to jump up, brandish a clenched fist, and do a "Look at me! Look at ME!" thing.
Everyone's reaction, including mine, was a confused: "Holy SHIT! What the fuck was that?"
And then, a few seconds later, they sounded the gas alarm. All enemy munitions at that point were assumed to have chemical weapons on board until proven otherwise. We donned our protective masks and spent the next half hour wearing them, silently saying "...shitshitshitshitshitshitshit..."
A 79 year-old mama's boy who is scared of his own shadow would not have reacted to being shot the way Trump did unless the whole thing was staged. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I have seen how human beings react under conditions of extreme stress, and Trump's reaction just doesn't add up.
