It’s a must-have’: With Russia in mind, US soldiers bolster air defense in Europe

Short-range missile defense became an afterthought with the end of the Soviet Union and the rise of counterinsurgency warfare elsewhere. Now, however, the soldiers of the 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment training at Grafenwoehr find their mission back in the spotlight.

With so many UFOs being shot down, you wonder how many are really up there. Also, why did the government wait until the Chinese balloon went all across our country above many military bases, to shoot it down? Many quetions unanswered.

For you information, I just posted my 800th post last Friday. It has been a long journey, and thank you for being there with me.

I was having coffee with some friends recently, and I talked to them about this site. A heated discussion started. Most of the people thought it was a great idea, and subscribed later to my site. However, one asked why he should subscribe. I said it is a site to help veterans. He went on to think I was just doing it to get praise. My blood pressure went up a little, and I said, ” I have no reason for praise.” He scoffed and said he would think about it. He never subscribed.

There are far too many civilians who have that mentality. They do not like the military, and do not like how much is spent for them. They never seem to think what it would be like if we didn’t have a military.

If you have faced these kind of people, be strong and assure them that you are proud you served.

I am very upset with President Biden. He made the National Guard sleep in a parking lot on the hard floor. He then told them to leave. That is showing no respect for our military what so ever.

Quote from one of the Guard members, “I felt like it was garbage day and I was the trash.”

__________________________________

President Biden has only been office a few days, and he has already signed a bunch of executive orders. Many wipes out much of what President Trump accomplished.

What makes me the most angry is that he is halting the building of the wall between our borders with Mexico.

He also is stopping the pipeline that was vital to so many workers. They will all be unemployed soon.

I guess we will have to see the how the people respond to this massive change.

___________________________________

Now that biden is president, he will see that some things will not change even with him there, There were massive, violent, rioting in Seattle and Portland, Oregon during his first week. He will probably think they were peaceful.

___________________________________

This will somewhat short today. I am not feeling well. My doctor sent me to do some blood testing and the results had several abnormal results. Something’s not right with this old body.

So now that I have whined about my health, how are you doing? Has the last few weeks got you down?
