Happy Veteran's Day! I don't know if I have a pic of me in a squid suit.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Somewhere I've got a photo of me as a PFC aboard a UH-1 at March AFB from ~1989. You'll have to use your imagination.

Thanks to all who served in the often thankless service.

It was my privilege to serve in the USAF 1979-1983.

Did anyone happen to see Obama greeting a plane full of vets when they arrived in DC?

The looks on their faces made my day.

Obama was acting like a president should behave.  He didn't even try to gild anything or talk about the wars he's won.

The contrast is painful. Trump is such a massive downgrade from Obama. Hell, he's a massive downgrade from Richard Nixon.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
