The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

When the draft dodger, Trumpedo, who said he considered himself “a great and very brave soldier” for battling the possibility of contracting a sexually transmitted disease in the 80s signed his umpteenth executive order to change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War, he said that after WWII “we were very strong, but we never fought to win. We just didn’t fight to win.”

Aside from his disrespect for those in uniform, Trumpedo is also a moron with respect to History. Trumpedo said that the name, which was changed by president Harry Truman in 1949 to combine all of branches of the military, had been changed because the country “decided to go woke.”

Umm, wut now?

Truman was “woke”?

Returning Vets were “woke”?

Trumpedo is such a dickwad.
