The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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.

“I’ve watched men bleed out in the Ardennes for a flag you’re not fit to hold, let alone wrap yourself in. You think bluster is bravery? I led men through hell. You couldn’t march through rain without whining about your hair.

You dodged the draft, praised dictators, and called that strength. I stared down Rommel’s panzers and pissed in the Rhine. You ran from bone spurs and hid behind Twitter like a spoiled child playing general.

You talk about purging patriots and jailing dissenters? That’s not power. That’s cowardice in a cheap suit and a clip-on tie.

I fought Nazis. You invite them. I liberated camps. You threaten to build new ones. I defended democracy with a .45 and a tank. You disgrace it with a pen and a podium.

So let’s be clear, sunshine: if you’d stood in front of me in ’44 spewing this treasonous filth, I’d have court-martialed you so fast your gold toilet would’ve flushed itself.

You’re a disgrace to the presidency and this Republic. And if you keep dragging this country toward dictatorship, history won’t salute you—it’ll spit.”

——Army staff sergeant who fought in World War Il, shared by Vets Against Trump.
