My former scout sniper buddy was asked in front of a room full of students by a college professor if he had killed people when he was at an age and time where that is a near certainty. I was pissed when he told me.

You too Brother!!!!!!! 🙌🏻🥃

You won’t remember it…

That would be the funniest podcast they've ever done!

@@reanukeevesau fucking love me some instructor Earl

I think he means that the government should be providing the public municipal functions that our taxes are meant to fund like infrastructure, roads, ems/police/fire, social safety nets and major emergency response along with national DEFENSE… but we should not be beholden to special interests & overseas conflicts that haven’t been publicly agreed upon for the National best interest rather than the best interests of a certain industry or pool of powerful corporate shareholders / investors. Same goes for “regulations to protect us from ourselves” like the failed drug war, failed war on terror, failed “gun control”, unreasonable subsidies funded by the common taxpayer, people who are uninformed should not be making such critically important decisions that affect the actual people so substantially.

@@esk8er900 Unfortunately that’s where we are today, so I’m not disagreeing with a lot of what you’re saying. I would just refer you or anyone else for that matter to Section 8 of the US Constitution, which is clearly not being followed , I.e. no standing armies ,only a navy. We the people should also re read Declaration of Independence,especially the second paragraph beginning with “ We hold these truths to be self evident…..That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,and to institute new Government,laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its power in such form,as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. God Bless & Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽🙏😇👍😊

@@anthonyforfare7223 likewise I don’t disagree with your points either- however the constitution was designed to be a “living document” in that it wasn’t meant to be literal & absolute so it could adapt to changes in the needs of the country. The idea of no “standing army” is based in the isolationist political mentality of the time as we were very barely stitched together as a nation of states in the years following the revolution. Furthermore it stems from the idea that we must prevent outsiders from invading but not allowing the powers that be the ability to invade from within as the British had with their standing army commandeering or unjustly searching homes/property just because they could. If you recall the constitution was the 2nd attempt at a national regulatory document after the articles of confederation nearly ended in failure, hence the 1st 10 amendments/ “bill of rights” automatically being necessary to even ratify the constitution as the framework of our country. But yes we’ve strayed far from that however I’m grateful to only have 1st world problems so I wish you & yours a happy thanksgiving and holiday season!! (Would you intercept me?? I’d intercept me!! Lol) 🦅

@@esk8er900 I know that you are correct about the second attempt,aka articles of the confederation.i grew up near Washington crossing state park in NJ ,which was considered the crossroads of the revolution ( NJ). I believe a little different on the Constitution,though I different opinions on that,but I digress. So Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours 🦃🍽😊 God Bless you and your family 🙏😇🥰👋
