Pentagon says $3B in new Ukraine aid will ‘change dynamic’ in fight with Russia

What should a person do when they are ridiculed for being in the military? Get in a brawl? No! We should be proud of our service to our country, and move on. Do not let radicals sway you from that thought.

I heard that a prominent congressman wants to put cutting the military finances money back on the table. That is not even close to something that makes any sense. We have to defend our country, and help out other countries that are struggling. A financial cut would almost eliminate that.

I had coffee with ten friends. (Yes I have ten friends.) It was a great time. Many of us have histories. Mine is that I am a veteran. Two others there are veterans. We try to sit close to each other so we can talk about our time in the military.

It is reassuring to share. There were some tough times for my Vietnam friend. He was wounded. The other veteran was in the army, but doesn’t have any “war,” stories.

I share my deployment to Korea. I have some very sad stories, (Loss of friends,) and some funny ones.

That is why I am writing my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the trenches of Life. It is full of stories about my time in the military. It also has many interviews with veterans. Some of their stories are terrifying and sad. Some have funny stories.

Keep coming back to see more about the book. 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.

Ukraine faces grim start to 2023 after fresh Russian attacks

Pentagon says Chinese fighter buzzed US Air Force jet in ‘unsafe’ intercept over South China Sea
U.S. officials said a People’s Liberation Army Navy J-11 fighter maneuvered within about 10 feet of a U.S. RC-135 Rivet Joint reconnaissance plane’s wing during the intercept Dec. 21.

________________________________________________________________

It seems to me that China is up to no good. Their attempts to intimidate our Air Force flying in the Taiwan area is frightening. They don’t seem to care. The last interaction had their planes within ten feet of a US plane. That is insane.

North Korea is getting very hostile. It is now loading up their weapons with nuclear devices.

Russia is stinging from the Ukrainian forces. The last report said that 840 Russians were killed in one day. Putin needs to wake up and have peace talks. It is his only way to come out alive.
