Turning back to the east we sweep across the plains. Leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi and land in the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant, Chris Grammett, the Eames, OK, teams, and the Ma Bell Grammett Consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for a light work. Well, let's see. Do we have Don with us yet? Yes, we do. OK, and Don, it's great. It's raining out here. Temperature's not really that bad. Actually, I've been collecting firewood and cutting it up. We just got spritsily rainily kind of an effect out there right now. That's all I can hear in the neck of the woods. What's the date they were jumping off the wall up there? Oh, I could say ditto for the weather today on the 11th day of November, year of our Lord, 2014. It's the 100-year anniversary, the beginning of World War I as far as the year. We're not that far away from the beginning. We pulled this anniversary from the end of that war, so I thought I'd connect those two up there real quick today, the 11th day of November 2014. Again, ditto on the weather. Visibility is less than a mile. I would not want to be a visual pilot only, so I'm in the air somewhere around Michigan right now. Why am I encompassing by the seat of your pants? Yeehaw! Didn't you smell the grass yet? Is that a tree? That's tops of trees I'm smelling. If I can see the tops of the trees we ain't hit yet. Yeah, exactly. Hey guys, if you haven't flown or went like that, oh yeah, the old story of the vinyl is sucked up off the seat by everybody involved, including the pilot. It's just that simple. At any rate, it's one of those days, but it is a strange day you guys. It was armist to stay for a long time and we've beat this up before, but we need to address this. This isn't something even to say we've beat this up before disrespects it. I have to retract that statement. I don't think you've ever heard me say that before. I know I've said some dumb things on the air, but I don't think you've ever heard me say that before. You're seeing the celebrations. If you're sitting around and you've got nothing to do when there's an apple bees or a red lobster, I think even steak and shake in your neck of the woods, you make it down there and they'll put a free meal in front of you for a veteran. Somebody actually called me up today and said, hey, I'm going over here to one of the Ruby Tuesdays giving away meals also here in Big Rapids. He said, you want to go down there with me? I'm not a veteran. It's just, oh, my man. I hear plenty of people who walk in there and get a free meal today who earned their draft card back in the day. So, you know, it's just a matter of, there's an honesty thing here, there's a pride thing here, no question about that. The pride that, you know, that we're not supposed to be, that's biblical. It's part of a human condition too, isn't it? You think of other things that we're not supposed to be like, you know, jealous. Jealousy and pride kind of mix together, don't they? Either one of them can lead to bad, bad things happening to people. Again, we're not supposed to be proud, but there is that pride. It can't be denied. We're human. When someone says, I serve my nation, I was here or I was there, they have every right to take pride in them. They're human. Sometimes some of the things that we're asked to do, standing here on the earth, feet on the ground, and by our Creator's theme, I just can't do that. No matter how hard I try, it's beyond me. Let's talk about that human condition a little bit longer because when we look at people being led to the extent that they know that they go to this area, that the attrition rate there is like 75% over three months. It's like 100% if you're there at fear. Don't go. There's so much to be again. There's a pride in that. But the other side of that coin is how many people... Let's go back a little bit. I don't do this to disrespect any veteran. Don't get me wrong. But how many people ran and signed up the date after the main sank there in Havana Harbor? And we could talk about, you know, how many people ran... Oh, let's do it in bits of How many people enlisted in the Army the day after they heard that the Archduke Ferdinand was shot? How many people ran out and enlisted that day or the next day? Even when formal war was declared between Germany and Britain, how many Americans ran out and enlisted? No, no, no, it's just when you think about it, it's like, remember the Maine! Yeah, there's a bunch of people that scared the Adel out for that. That was the last of the militia wars, actually. It truly was. And then from that point forward, it was time for the socialists to plug in the corporate slash international agenda wars, and that's where we headed with the new banker wars, World War I. Without the 1913 Federal Reserve Act, the wheat had never piddled around with or gotten involved in that European war, and it was a European war only. They had no business being in it. The way the Brits looked at us is like looking at the Canadians and the Aussies as something to throw into the meat grinder. Yes. That's how they looked at us. They treated the Aussies and the Australians, and the New Zealanders didn't get it any better. New Zealanders, the Australians and the Canadians, and in every case they screwed them wherever they could. They didn't expect us just going kicking and screaming like we did. Oh, we know that. World War I brought about that battle that in that single day the Marines lost more dead in a single day than the Corps had lost in all of its existence. Now we talk about the escalation and compare this to this and how things have gone up. We talked about that rather recently too. That's what World War I did. It took one quarter of French men. It took one quarter of them. Look around the room. Think of your brother, your father, your uncle. Is your father still old enough or young enough to go to war? Even after a while they changed that. Exactly. They were getting desperate and scraping in all directions and the order of battle as far as who was being brought forward changed too with it. A lot of people thought they were secure. My grandfather on my mother's side, it is Veterans Day, was at Chateau Terry and at Bello Wood. And Bello Wood was a brawl. It was a mobile battle by comparison to most. Most people don't realize that. If you map out World War I, 1914 to 1917 was, hey let's slug it out and throw a million people into a battlefield that turns into the people mud. On the other hand by the time you get to the US getting in there, like I said, one thing that did happen is we changed the dynamic of the battlefield in a way that they did not anticipate because we made it totally mobile again. Historians will tell you Mark that It was trench warfare and there were trenches from Sweden to the south of France, which there were. But again, the war was always in a very small area compared to from Sweden to the south of France. The war was in a five mile front and then there were great gaps and then it was a six mile gap. or a five-mile, six-mile fund. It was intermittent. It was like Morris Code. If it weren't like that, people couldn't walk from one side of the line to the other, town to town. And this is what happened. People walked around battles. Citizens did, civilians did. My father lives over there around the battle and you'd go over there or come back with milk or whatever. That didn't happen so much in World War II. look at the example. We use this as, we will fall back on Hollywood every now and then for an example because it is a visual medium. You tend to remember a lot of that. But look at Enemy at the Gates. That was a war that was surging back and forth through Stalingrad. It wasn't on the edge of the city. It wasn't held there on the edge of the city. The Germans went into Stalingrad and were pushed back. They went in again and were pushed back. Over here in this little suburb on the north corner, they went in real hard and they were pushed back. There were times when they held two-thirds of the city and were pushing into the rest, but were pushed back. Again, you think about everything being static. It moves and flows and ebbs like the tide. Look at it like that. We talk about knowing the land, don't we? Even the land is knowing the old neighborhood beak. I hate to talk like that because now we go into the urban warfare. There were small towns in World War I that were kind of flattened as the army went through it. World War II brought about aggression against the citizens in a mechanized way that hadn't happened before. Now there's always been that aggression against the citizens as armies march, you know, I want your pig. Oh no you don't. Club, club. Unco, munka, I got his pig now. Or, oh no you don't. Brrrp. It's my pig. It's always been that way. Fung Soole addressed it. Patton addressed it when he was talking about let's beat the Russians back. In the movies he said, hell, they came here with chickens and cows as their supply lines. They got nothing behind them. So again, where do you think those chickens and cows came from? They didn't bring them from the suburbs of Moscow or even Stalingrad or even Poland. Fresh chickens and cows that they had that they carried and dragged and corralled and moved along with them just behind the front so they'd have something to eat that night came from again fresh and the front they came from German farms if that cow lived from Poland 50 miles into Germany that was a fortunate cow because it was there to feed an army but again I get a little bit off track here you know we could talk let's go a bit farther back and talk about feeding armies because that was something that was hard to do in the initial war that brought about this country. You know, you think that, well, let's reference those bloody footprints in the snow, because now we're talking about the old-time soldiers, the old-time American soldiers. There's that phrase sometimes, Don, you know, I know we aren't supposed to, in a commercial kind of way, like over there, there's a little brick store and the guy calls himself the king of cliches. You can stop in there and he'll sell you a cliche, you can figure what he has in the catalog. You hear it, you get what you pay for, this, that, the other thing. But you guys, old timers, people who left, the man who left the bloody footprint in the sand, in the snow that we talked about, there was more than one. Do you think that, well, snowing out, and I don't have boots, I haven't had my boots, they just fell off last month. The last month I've been wrapping my I have to go over there. When I get there, I look back and then some of my left foot, my left foot, please. If you have the ability to feed yourself, if you are in such an area to feed yourself, you probably are in such an area where someone could say, look son, I think you need a fair of boots. They reach over there in their stores and they come back out here and take these with you. Try them on first. the boots are only portion of the deprivation because you know it's like this if you go to the store and i know some people will say that well down there are people who are they're choosing between their meds and their food every month i know that but if you're walking through the snow and you're leaving bloody footprints it's probably you could use a new pair of boots but if you can't afford a new pair of boots you probably can't afford much food either and again let's drag this because That was another effort for the original Americans. Those that created this nation that we say, it's the greatest nation in the world. We look at a demarcation and it is. You study history in particular ways, not in the social studies book in seventh or ninth grade. You look at that demarcation that you mentioned a little while ago. Because, well, it took the sinking of the Lusentania and how many Americans were aboard that. President Wilson was in the place to do a European job. Now he didn't say it exactly like that, but he did say we will not become involved in foreign entanglements. We have no business fighting in Europe. But then he got elected. See how that works? Because then they tied all the strings to him and tightened up the ones that they already had. But he wasn't that, it wasn't like, well, Mr. Wilson was an ordinary because he was a one worlder in even ways. He had people around him who were definitely anti-American. He had people around him literally who hated humanity. Now when you think that, how could that be? Why would Don say such a thing like that? Reference into history that Colonel, he was no more a Colonel than the guy who will sell you Kentucky Fried Chicken. Colonel House, who was Wilson's biggest advisor in the spring of 1918, told as the Germans were making overtures to numerous governments around the world to bring them, at least an armistice if not a piece, talking to the Swiss, talking to others, to end the war. This was a war where we've mentioned you guys and we've used that as an example to urging you to put in a garden. urging you to become a little more food independent because it was the winter of 1617, was it, or 1516, I believe, that most of the German people just exhibited on turnips through that winter. We look at history and we use it as example. When you talk about wars, many of the times it comes back to food, doesn't it? But this isn't really where I wanted to go because today is Veterans Day. and we mix that in. You know, go down to Arby's, go down to your steak and shake, hit up that red lobster for a meal this evening. You guys, if you deserve it, there's a free meal for you. There's a number of other establishments across the nation that will do that. I didn't mean to just wax off into historical reference there. Mark, you pointed it out. After the takeover of the American banks, after the establishment of the Federal Reserve, Everything went toward the one worlders, didn't it? And we had World War I. And you know, there are some historians who will say that World War I and World War II were the same war with a 20-year intermission. That's not a don. I didn't make that up. That's a pretty clever linkage of words together and a most apt description of that portion of history. World War I and World War II were the same war with a 20-year intermission. We could talk about again trying to bring about peace and settling for an armistice and the German army marching home parading through Berlin with all of its weapons and glory and everything. Basically, the Germans at the end of the war, we won the war. That's what the Germans thought. The fire in them was quickly put out as their country was robbed. We've talked about this, Mark. You've mentioned this many times. That was the impetus to create the Second World War. Now, we talk about numerous dead. Again, let's reference that before we move away because we could just offer that moment of silence, that respect. There was a day in World War I, and you mentioned the battlefield march, where more Marines died in a single day than all of the Marines that died in the service of the United States before. That was World War I. of the measures. Again, something that was brought about. Let's take a break. Let's grow up a fresh generation of haters. Send them off to war again. The other side of that coin is let's grow up a whole other fresh generation of people who are freedom lovers and people who think that, well, I don't want to go over there. And we did that once already. And they told me that was the war to end all wars. And my cousin and my uncle and my nephew died in that war. That's not done. But again, there were people who could say that. I can't remember the casualty numbers they put on World War I. 17 or 23 million or something like that. But when you think, what did they put on World War II? Almost 100 million? 78 or 82 million or over 100 million? What's the number? I can't pull it up. The brain cells just won't fire right now. But it's in there somewhere. But it's an ungodly number. And when we look and look over at the simplications, we don't need to look at that so much, sure, that allows people to say, well, we've got to do this. Let's go to this here, a guy, one particular book. Fauchwitz said that war is a natural extension of politics. We can boil that down right to the individual man to a certain extent. That is true. Because, you know, when the talking stops and there's something, there's an issue, there's a problem in the room and the talking stops, that's generally, you know, when the thump, thump goes on because somebody picked up something and hit somebody with it, or the thump, thump goes on because somebody hit somebody directly with their fist, or, and then the bang, because somebody just drew their gun and cocked it and shot somebody. So again, when the talking stops, and see how that works, the definition basically of politics To connect the two together is the natural notion of politics. accepted bot line these days. When you look at it like that, it's easy to say, no, no. When you look at it like that, there are those who appreciate that in such a way that they say, all of them doing this, and let's get all of them running in that direction, and oh, we got so many left over, let's send them over there into the South Pacific. World War II was an extension of World War I, the same war with the 20-year intermission. When we look at it in a different light, we could reference the letter from Pike to Miuszcini. Now we see and we look behind the scenes and see that control that would move men into the grinder that you referenced earlier, Martin's, in until that hundreds, not reducing it. the So the numbers are staggering. You mean battlefield casualties because of the camps in the enjoyment? No, we're talking about all the rest of the world. That pipsqueak amount where the kosher mafia yaps about, I'm a victim, while tens and tens of millions of other people. I would say that 20 million, 15 million Chinese trump 1.4 million or 900,000 kosher mafia types in Europe. Oops. That's mean. No. That's just numbers. How was it you can't mention that with a war that lasted for them? We can't wait before we knew it. World War II, we heard about it. There were the rumors of the war in Asia. Always on the horizon. All through the 30s. It wasn't rumored, it was real. You could go to a movie house and watch news reels of the Chinese and the Manchurian campaign and go right down the list. The Japanese-Manchurian-Japanese, you know, Sino invasion of central, you know, coastal China. The Marco Polo Bridge incident and then the railroad incident. I can't remember the railroading. Yes. And that part has always ignored it intentionally as if only the European... But there's a reason too. What's the focus at the end of the war? Not the tens of millions of Christians who died, but a little clique who's been feeding off us ever since and parriciting off our wallets with all of their yap. While your uncles, your great uncles, your dads, you know, were blown out of the sky and didn't do enough in the process, which is some of the insults that started back in the 90s and then they shut up again because they forgot too many World War II vets were alive. Because they actually started that garbage. You didn't do enough! Really? I think dying and flying 40,000 feet, 30,000 feet in the air and falling most of the way without a parachute is probably enough dying for enough blood. I mean, times, however many men, in how many different ways, small chunks and pieces that never came home. Well, that's a funny thing because that goes over to the pot, calling the kettle black, doesn't it? Yeah. You know that goes back to those behind the scenes who think Literally you guys who sit and think how can we kill millions of people in the next year or how can we kill? 50 million people in the next year or even you know More insidious that if they can't do it in the war How can we kill 50 million people and make it look like it's disease? That's what they do now and again this started talking about veterans It is veterans and we've talked about the evolution of war a number of times it was mentioned even today or yesterday Mark many times you've talked about the need of the man with a rifle and the American soldiers filled that need many times Fighting for what again? He believed what he was told was right take that away from them. You can't take that away from them. You can read Schmedley Schmedley, Ohio we fought for gangsters Schmedley will tell you that, General, the Marine General Schmedley will tell you, we fought for gangsters. But, you know, very few people knew that. And the man with the rifle there, he had no idea other than he was fighting for freedom. Now, you go later, let's come back up. We've addressed World War II into that extent. And we're chewing up this hour, but you know, if you read in particular places like Oh, John Stormer, when he talks about the mindset of the American, talks about the American soldier overhears a guy with dysentery and he don't smell real good so we're going to throw him outside into the snow. Now that might have been recorded into history. That might have actually happened. More American POWs operated with the enemy in the Korean War than any other time. This is documented. It happened more in Vietnam. By Vietnam, we had the open American people saying, hell no, we won't go, spitting on our veterans when they come home. Remember those days? There were guys who, you know, put a wig on and got hippie clothes just so they would avoid that. But there was that American soldier got off the airplane. I'm home again. Imagine that, coming from a war. from being shot at. Did you know the guy who went to Vietnam got shot at more than the guy who went to Korea got shot at far more than the guy, your grandfather, your father, who went to World War II? I don't remember the numbers exactly, but the guy beating the upground in Europe, heading towards shooting, shooting Hitler, he saw on average like 17 or 23 days of combat or something like that. The guys that went into Vietnam on average saw like 87 or 143 days. I don't remember the number but it was tremendously more. In many cases constant contact. Yes. One end of a month to the next or more. Yes. Tremendously more than the guys who were in World War II. Imagine that and imagine getting off the airplane and you're proud of serving your country. And you come walking down that whatever, down the gangplank. In those days a lot of people walked right off the airplane, down the stairs and across the tarmac. The tarmac, yeah. Because they came into the entryways for the facilities. Somebody stood there with a door open. Of course they used to do down in Dallas, Fort Worth until not too long ago as far as the public jumpers go. I don't think they changed that. It's like the traditional older style tarmac. But again, imagine that, coming home from Vietnam and getting a spit on. Imagine that, but that was the mindset of the people here too. Because they were being sold. We were being sold in a number of directions. Ra, ra, ra. And you talked many times, Mark, about the plastic flag and where the hell was it made. You've referenced that many times. Now, you know, we're not like a light switch. The American people are waking up more and more. But we treat the veterans that come home from desert dust, you know, from the most current action, like I wonder what Schmedley would have to say about them. A number of them are forced in, and I don't do this to disrespect them. A number of them are forced in simply because there's not a job in this civilian arena anymore. And when they go there and somebody's shooting at them, it ain't no different a bullet than, but it could kill you just as dead as the guy who stood there at Concord. Just as dead as the spade. war just as dead as World War I, World War II, all of the other little things we did in between. And then Colrea, we could talk about, oh, this way the Guatemala, Brazil, all kinds of things where American soldiers have gone. Take anything away from their action. But again, we have to look at the men who said, you got to do this. You got to shed blood. You got to. And it is a veteran's. All do. I don't know of a single American that has a ring in his nose, not by his choice or her choice. You know, you walk around long enough, you'll find somebody with a ring in their nose, but it's their choice. But you know what, if you grab that ring in their nose, you can lead them around all kinds of places. You can make them do all kinds of things, as long as you don't let go of that ring. You know, you got that ring in their nose and you take that little, you just lever on your little knuckle onto their chin and you pull their nose out a little bit and they say, yes sir, what would you like me to do for you right now, sir? But the American people as they hold do not have that ring in their nose, do they? More and more we're learning that, look it, that's not true. We're doing this for free oil? Look it, the war will pay for itself. Do you remember that? Remember that this war will pay for itself. The one that has bled us dry. That rifleman, that ground pounder, that flyer, that navy man. None. Mark, I just... Well, we have no more World War I veterans. We can walk up and hug. Ain't got no more of those guys hanging around. Bury all them. World War II, everybody's getting up there in years, guys. Korea, hey, here's the bad part about Korea. Remember all those guys in World War II? That's a big chunk of what fought the Korean War. We always call that World War II and 2.25. So everybody goes, I've always heard that before. I had my tour. I had Vietnam. Imagine having that duration and six month contract. Let's remember some of the stuff these guys went through. World War I was the duration. You were drafted. Read that. You were pulled up as random militia under the DICK Act. In World War II, you were drafted under the DICK Act. Korea, well, it was a combination. Not that they didn't pull regular reserve and guard units up, and militia units up in both of the wars. They did. But Korea, a lot of guys who already had that discharge with the ruptured duck and a few other problems, like usually a purple heart or two or three. and their numbers got picked to come up again. They were pulled back into service and thrown over into Korea. They had theirs and they got another helping. Always remember that. When you were a guy so I was in Korea, you don't hear about as many people in Korea and it was intentionally a forgotten war because of the politics. It was the first practice run at the second big internationalist war that was just overt. The first was World War I. We had no business being in it. We had no reason to be there. Korea, we had no business being there. But again, we already had it. We had already taken and controlled everything. We already had paid for it. People had already bled all the way across the Pacific, only to have the shysters, the manipulators, desperately in need of pushing the globalist agenda after 1947. And so they fabricated a war in a location where they could completely control the environment. Sadly enough for the Korean people, the Korean peninsula. And that's why it became the forgotten war. Bottom line is because they wanted to plug it in again and play ten years with us on Vietnam. And they did. I know men who served in every one of those wars we just mentioned. He has to be gone by now. But there's a gentleman I retired, and when I retired him a third time, he was already in his middle 90s. I swear to God, when you looked at him, he had to be only 62. Now that sounds weird, doesn't it? Have you ever thought about, boy, he looks like he's about 62. That's pretty young. In reality, the man was about 30 years older. He had been in World War I, World War II, Korea, and the early and middle years of Vietnam. In the 70s, he was still in service. Now, of course, it helps to have a job that nobody else can do because he progressively learned. He sculpted his career. A lot of men who stayed in the military sculpted their career under the logic that they would make themselves useful, and their job would be useful, and therefore you couldn't get rid of me. In his case, he came into AG, into the computer world back in the 50s when nobody knew what a computer was. and virtually built the entire payroll and the computer bookkeeping systems for the U.S. Army. But in Vietnam, that was what he did. And so World War I, he was a private. World War II, he was a sergeant. World War II and a quarter. Well, he figured he'd go into medicine because he probably wouldn't mess with doctors, right? Well, that didn't work. So they dragged his arse over in Korea. And then in Vietnam, after Korea, He got into computers. It's amazing. Every time he would retire every year, they would call him back under special order every year. We have a lot of friends that have passed away. Willard Colter, World War II vet, was there from the beginning of the war to the very end of the war and watched the Chinese people betrayed by the United States as they helped Mao Zedong to take power and murder them. That's another graduation that we could observe for a moment or 17. You know, if you took a bullet in the arm in the Civil War, you might have died. If you took a bullet in the arm in the Civil War, the surgeon took it off with a knife and a saw. And you were lucky if you got a double shot of something, you know, before that. Hence, you know, bite the bullet, the rag, this hunk of rope, because we're going to try to save your life. But you know what? If the surgeon took your arm off, you might have died too, just from the infections. World War II was the same way. World War I, rather, was the same way. And it brought more insidious types of wounds and veterans that lived through gasings. Mark, you've experienced in the family with that. Grandfather, my mom's side, gas three times. Again, for people who go, we've never seen this before. Yeah, we have. They're just counting on the idea everybody forgets. But it can. Plenty of people didn't survive the gassing. Oh no. It carried miserable wounds for the rest of their life. Mustard gas on the outside and if it gets to the inside, oh well, if you ever see a mustard gas wound, guys. You just virtually drown in your own fluids. That blistering effect that you see on the skin works on the internal tissue of your lungs the same way. Because back in the day they had an idea, they did some things, but what we would do today, you would probably survive it, the scarring would still be terrible, but I would point out something. Like I said, my grandfather He was in the Argonne, Belleau Wood, Chateau Terre, and a bunch of other towns that you would never recognize name wise anymore unless you went to France, of course, and Belgium. He survived the war, smoked all during the war, smoked for every year that I knew him after the war up until his late 80s. He could roll a cigarette with one hand, a bagged cigarette. I still can't do that. When he passed away, not by natural causes, he was in a car that was a woman who came across the medium, had on and killed him. When they did the autopsy on him, because they had two by law, he died in Florida. The doctor came out and he looked at my mom and dad and he said, he looked at my mom and he said, was your dad World War I? She looked at him and said, yes he was. He said, I have figured. For pretty much all of his life since World War I, he has only had about 10% of his lungs that were working. Just the upper tier of his lungs, everything else wasn't scar tissue. We said, we will see if that is smoking. No guys, back in early 1918, When he got gassed the first time, and then they sent him out a second time after he was already wounded, and then sent him out a third time again, week after week, it burned the inside of his lungs and scarred everything up to the top 10%, the upper tier on both lungs. Everything else, just going along for the ride. Again, a veteran suffering for the rest of his life. Yeah, and he was second nature, guys. For him, it was like, it's pain I gotta live with. I'll tell you what, he was pops from Popeye. On top of everything else, just think pops from Popeye, gramps, okay? And that'll give you an idea how he was. World War II saw the individual American soldier issued with a lot more stuff to tend to himself, stuff that the medic would have available. when he got to that wounded soldier. Brought up the survival rate a little bit. But the Korean War, you know, remember MASH, you guys, and the helicopters? The Korean War started to see retrieval from the battlefield and soldiers surviving horrific injuries. Or total amputations. Yes, that's where I was going. And having them reattached. Yes, that's where I was going. When you guys, we see veterans now from this war. walking around and they don't have anything from the knees down. They would not have survived such injuries in Vietnam. Even Korea or Vietnam. Right. That would have been a death sentence. So again, there are a number of things that we'll witness over the rest of our lives. These men have given more than just, hey, I served. You're going to see men that someplace else Because, well, they were an American rifleman, or they were an American transporter. They were a cook in the wrong place at the wrong time, and thank God they survived. I'm surprised about Korea and I keep emphasizing this for a reason. Could nobody relate reattachment of limbs to veterans, or anybody for that matter, until the late 60s and 70s, guys? Even then it was very unique to the point where you even saw it covered on television. Remember that? In some cases they even show you the surgery. Look, we're doing this! But when I served years ago, I ran into so many Korean vets that I worked with and served with who had legs reattached, or an arm, mostly legs. They could work easier with legs and reattach them. To me it was just like, you never heard of this. It's like the rest of the forgotten war about Korea. All the developments that we take for granted now were perfected because of battlefield conditions and the idea that we could try and get away with it. In other words, it did. It advanced techniques by decades. If not a century with our medical support to a degree that like the guys everyone had the same problem almost at the same time Where they'd reattach the leg and you know 20 years 25 years later right around there Well, I've got to go farther out than that. 35 years, about 35 is when they got bad. And it was always the same problem. Because of the type of reconstructive surgery, they'd done it now. They put everything back together. Now, by Vietnam, that would change to the point where fewer men would have the problems that would develop with blood circulation. And today, with the microsurgery, reattaching microsurgery they do now, Realistically, those men will die before they have a problem with the, if they can reattach it. If they can put it back on, with the direct application, the basic surgery that they were doing back for all of the processing back in Korea and Vietnam, they now do almost immediately in the field. So then everything from that point forward is an improvement to develop the recovery recuperation process and to bring life back to that limb. So, you're not going to see, because think about it, if it was 30 to 35 years, for most of these guys to see the possibility of re-amputation of a limb, you won't see that with most of these men coming up now because the technology has changed and improved enough with regard to what we can do. Now, that will all be out the window if we go into the next war. This is something else that we've had to talk about with our medical people and get into a discussion over is that amputation is going to be a necessary thing because we don't have the microsurgery capabilities. We cannot rebuild your knee, sir. Right. We can fix it. I mean, there are degrees. We can fuse it. We can, you know, in other words, kind of like welding. Okay, we can lock it up so at least have a limb. They could again do the lesser types of reconstructive surgery or reattachment. It could still be done because we haven't lost the technology. Our biggest problem is the time and application on casualty. If we go into a major conflict in the United States, most everything is going hell in hand cart real fast. When they're stupid enough to start a shooting war to go after the guns, all hell's going to break loose. One of the many questions, are the hospitals going to be neutral ground? Or is the police state thinking that people are going to be sent to the hospital and they're going to start thugging on people there? That's one of the questions I had directly when we were one of the stand-ups. I said, is the hospital going to be neutral ground? And he looked crosswise. He didn't even know what the hell I was coming up with. I said, is the hospital going to be neutral ground? Because if not when I send a ball, I'm one of my people there There's people with guns going with them you start anything their hospital be a shooting zone just like everything else You better make some decisions right now. You're gonna keep puffing up Yeah, but mark, you know some of these guys ain't got enough sense to look you know Beyond the glass is gonna break when it hits the floor future right exactly Well, that's why we why we did that it's like well you better decide now because it's all part of what's gonna happen and And by the way, I'm not going to differentiate between the ones that you got laying there and the ones that are standing there shooting at me because you planned on killing all my people or torturing them or running them off to the lockup without any medical care. Oh, I'd about have to get rid of you. See, that's the whole point because they'll try that. So we have to be prepared for the fact that we had better have deeper logistics to support that type of situation because we would step back. We wouldn't lose everything. I mean, come on people, just your basic personal hygiene and basic knowledge that you have is about four steps to 10 steps above the doctors that we're serving in the Civil War. Oh yeah. Okay, the doctors. Now talk about the rank and file, man. I'm talking about the doctors. Yes. So just how dramatically our ability to take care of people off the battlefield from that period as opposed to World War I, as opposed to World War II. There's a lot of things that were done in World War I that were quite successful, but there were things that we just didn't have that now we have working knowledge of. And it would point out, in most cases, all these things are so stupid. Simple, it's ridiculous. It's not like it is right. It's science, but it's not rocket science. Hey, you know, for world... Let's reference World War I again in gassing. When the first casualties started dying on our side, the doctors didn't know what to describe it as. Many of the death certificates were written as air starvation or air. Yeah. Yeah. You guys, again, it goes back over to what's going on. It was like my grandpa said, it was like breathing through a mop. He was trying to take in errors like breathing through a mop. That's what he would, he would as long as it felt like a set of mops. And there wasn't anything he could do about it. I mean, the first rule is, what I've said many times, expirate. Get the, you know, cough up whatever you could. What usually happened is the guy, the man progressively would uh... weekend and could not expirate could not you know virtually cough guys they were there the that cough reflex and that you know they believe the make bring up sputum the other is a certain point which would get so tired that you just simply the body of the muscles when work wouldn't would respond and literally you would drop That's the most common if you Stay open and enter up energy get it done. If not, you didn't make it. Yep That's the other things remember Mustache Bob another one of our good friends was there for every fight was there for every standoff Also, many of our friends that have passed recently here, we've got a lot of good men. The Don White Militia Company, we're working on recruiting to make an entirely new militia formation. It'll be the Don White Company or D White Company is what they're thinking about using. But for everybody out there guys, it's Veterans Day. Y'all say a prayer for all of our people that are gone. Remember all of our friends. Still alive and help them out. Take care of them. Wish them well. And let's get on with life and let's get on with cleaning the country out so we can enjoy the life we've got. How's that sound? Down your number for night vision.
