“A widening military-civilian divide increasingly impacts our ability to effectively recruit and sustain the force,” Blogger - I joined the Air Force in 1965 to reduce my chances of fighting in Vietnam.  I supported our government, but not the war.  It was an eight-year battle that outlived its purpose and the men who fought it.  For those who did fight and die, they are to be heled in the highest regard.

Americans still aren't rallying behind the president. “ The first poll after the killing of Soleimani shows 53 percent of Americans disapproving of Trump’s handling of Iran, a number similar to what other polling registered in September and October. What has changed is that 39 percent ‘strongly disapprove’ of Trump’s policy— a number up 10 points since before the Soleimani killing . ” Action reaction but not as intended as we in the name of our president decide how to manage security abroad.  blogger Source  David Frum Staff writer at The Atlantic  www.theatlantic.com

Without malice of forethought, animals are not blamed for their actions unless it involves a human   "As rocket attacks against U.S. bases in Iraq intensified over the last two months, the president had granted the Pentagon extraordinary latitude: The U.S. military had his permission to kill Soleimani the next time it had an opportunity to do so, according to a senior defense official who was not authorized to speak on the record."

My life is unrequited People linger then pass on A word or two becomes a dare Then they vanish they are not there The above is the condition that a bi-polar person faces  Few friends understand  The few that do tolerate the unimaginable  The normal definition is as follows from Wikipedia   Unrequited love or one-sided love is love that is not openly reciprocated or understood as such by the beloved. The beloved may not be aware of the admirer's deep and strong romantic affection, or may consciously reject it.

You may remember Gonzales Gonzales from John Wayne movies.  He provided comedy in Rio Bravo, Hellfighters, and several other John Wayne movies. This video shows where he got his start. He innocently appeared as a contestant on 'You Bet Your Life' with Groucho Marx. As the questioning continued, it got funnier and funnier.   Groucho took advantage of the situation based upon audience laughter. John Wayne happened to be watching the show and contacted him after the event.  John Wayne insisted he played himself in the movies.   Gonzalez became a popular character in JW movies. source www.chonday.com

Isn't it time that our lawmakers fought for our best interest rather than their own  Elections are important  So are the people who elected and empowered legislators to do a job of keeping our country safe and worth living in  We do not live in a monarchy  We do not live in a dictatorship  We do behave as though the only choices we have are the ones we are dictated to and how to bow down America is freedom  Don't forget  If you need to remember read the history books that tell us what the true intent of our leaders was

"Experts point to Mexico as an example of how transformative gas can be in a matter of only a few years. As the American shale boom accelerated, producing more gas than its northern neighbor could consume, Mexico decided to import as much cheap gas as possible. Mexico replaced its dirtier burning coal and petroleum products, and now more than a quarter of the country’s electricity is powered by American gas ."

Steve Jobs, the inventor of the iPad did not allow his children to become dependent on technology - no phones at the dinner table, etc..  I made a living understanding the operating systems of an array of different computers and found myself engulfed with the idea that they would improve my life.  What they did was provide me with a way to support my family while losing them to the hours required to acquire skills.   The antithesis of technology is its contrived derivation: tech no logy - technical without logic.  That's right the computer is just a machine without emotions and the inability to draw on conclusions without the use of the man-made sophisticated algorithms. The human brain is your first computer.  For serious work and other essentials like spell checking, use a machine.  It has its place but certainly not at the dinner table and probably not even to tell the world your daughter cut her first tooth. 

  "Whether we call it gut feelings, a 'sixth sense,' or something else, we have all experienced intuition at one time or another. Of course, gut feelings are often wrong (how many times during aircraft turbulence have you been sure your plane was going down?), but they do seem to be right much of the time. Psychologists note that people subconsciously pick up information about the world around us, leading us to seemingly sense or know information without knowing exactly how or why we know it. But cases of intuition are difficult to prove or study, and psychology may only be part of the answer." He does things his way.  So did Fidel Castro and Joseph Stalin to name a few. The only difference is that the United States is a Democratic Republic, whereas the others were dictatorships.  source article   www.livescience.com  photo-internet
