I don’t have any insight or understanding on anything about the government. All I think is that it’s stupid — which is the one perspective that’s almost completely lacking in Washington. Dave Barry

It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out where the strong man stumbled, or where a doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, and who comes up short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause. The man who at best knows the triumph of high achievement and who at worst, if he fails, fails while daring greatly, so that his place will never be with those cold timid souls who never knew victory or defeat. Theodore Roosevelt
(26th President of the United States, 1858-1919)
Treason from general mark milley
Talk about “aid and comfort to the enemy”. Where is the civilian control of the military? This is outrageous. What do the Chinese, Russia and other states think about a rogue military?

The tank, the B-52, the fighter-bomber, the state controlled police and the military are the weapons of dictatorship. The rifle is the weapon of democracy. Not for nothing was the revolver called an ‘equalizer.’ Egalite implies liberte. And always will. Let us hope our weapons are never needed – but do not forget what the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny… If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government à and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws. Edward Abbey
The Right to Arms, 1979
