WHAT? WE HAVE OUR PRIORITIES ASSEL BACKWARDS.
Millions of dollars are paid to sports players who run up and down the field chasing a ball with people in the stands, including politicians, cheering them on and then you have a man with a helmet and a 120-lb pack on his back defending our country?
His basic load was:
M-60 machine gun
At least 600 rounds
A full case of C-rations
Sleeping gear: Poncho’s, tent pegs and an air mattress (when it didn’t have a hole in it…which was rare 😀 )
A bag of “world food” to supplement the C’s. Later, I added a small sauce pan for cooking.
Dry socks.
An ammo can with personal items in it, such as my wallet, money, writing supplies, etc.
Assorted grenades: Frags, smokes, a thermite for destroying the gun if it became necessary.
Machete.
FLS (Fuckin’ Little Shovel)
Canteens. During the dry season, I carried 6 of them, plus a 5 qt. blivet bag.
A couple of pressure bandages
Steel pot
Assorted other stuff, like Claymore mines or Mechanical Ambushes.
Sometimes, they’d make us wear flack jackets too.
When completely full just after re-supply, the whole load could go up to 120 lbs. Of course, as the days went on it got lighter and lighter as I ate the C’s and expended ammunition.
*******
with love ones back home cheering and praying for him to return home – safely and what happens – our Democrat socialist politicians are in the stands cheering on the sports players. But, what do we see the politicians doing for the man with a 120-lb pack on his back that keeps them safe so that they can go sit in the stands cheering on the sports players?
They give the money to illegals and station our soldiers all over the world protecting foreigners’ safety and sovereignty and won’t even allow our soldiers to protect their own country – even in a crisis – and do not want to shut down the border to protect their own citizens. They put the trained soldier “behind a desk” at the border or outside of engaging with the enemy.

********
Why do we not fully take care of our soldiers and their families who return from combat from wars started by politicians – but give millions to illegals?



Illegals are given free education, free housing, free medical care and free welfare all taken out of our social security benefits which we paid into and what do we as citizens get – a lot of guff from these Democrat socialists politicians who are giving our wealth to the illegals and giving us a boot in the rear. They keep telling us that healthcare costs too much; but, we are spending (see charts – above) on illegals who they are allowing into our country and sucking up our welfare which the illegals did not earn – WE DID.
And the DEMOCRAT SOCIALISTS LAUGH AND LAUGH AT US – THEY SAY WE ARE STUPID –

Time to DRAIN THE SWAMP.
