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.

“Go out and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible”

So says our Secretary of War, revealing his own weakness and untreated alcoholic delusions of grandeur.

(the similarities between his communiques and those sent to the Wehrmacht by Hitler in his bunker are striking)

Then again, he’s only echoing the late night “Truths” posted by Trump in all caps, whose rambling incoherence likewise begs for psychiatric treatment.

A certain segment of troubled youth will always sign up to execute orders of violence and mayhem. We see it with ICE, as well as recruitment numbers for the military.

These only reveal the continuing debasement of American culture and norms.

Do those joining the military know that their Commander in Chief views them solely as “expendable meat”?

As teen visions of personal invulnerability are shattered on the rocks of reality, I fear that many of them are about to find out.
