I met a marine yesterday while shopping at Cost Co. He was one hell of a guy. We quickly became friends, and I asked him if I could have his email to keep in touch. He agreed, and I told him I was writing a book on the military and could I interview him. He said yes.

Then he gave me a sneak peak of what happened to him. He was wounded three separate times. Two times by bayonets. One of the bayonet times the bayonet went through both legs. He was also wounded by shrapnel. He said there was a lot of close up fighting going on. He was in Vietnam from 1965-1969. A long haul.

Come back and read his amazing story as it unfolds. Better yet…go to the top of this page and click on subscribe. When you do all future posts will go directly to your inbox.

It seems like more each day that Putin will use nuclear weapons. He is desperate to win his war in Ukraine. He is losing badly right now. The consensus is that if he does use the bomb, He is finished.

Other rumors have been popping up of a take over of his position by generals.

There is also widespread stories about his bad health.

Seems he has a death wish at this time.
