#4 Some in the ex-military might want to sock him one, but remember he is nearly 80 years old and recently got beaten up by his old German Shepard.

#5 "The Biden family is a military family."

That include Ensign Crackpipe? The Biden who was bounced from the Navy for cocaine use almost immediately upon enlisting?

"I will never disrespect you ..."

... even though most of you are filthy racists who need to be investigated and either 'reprogrammed' or cashiered

"I will never politicize the work you do"

... I'll just stage witch hunts and force you to prioritize identity politics theatricals over actual preparations for combat

#6 As the Dems are hardly "the" anti-war party, I think we'd better hope we don't go to war and rely on the human factor (and West Point cheaters).

#8 "Of course, I'll respect you in the morning"

"I'm from the government, I'm here to help you"

"The check is in the mail"

"It's only a cold sore"

#9 "a noose that was left on a Black sailor's bed"

Based on past history, it was either a garage pull or an exercise ring.

#11 IIRC, the US population 60% white, 40% people "of color", so if 40% of the military consists of POCs that is exactly like America.

#12 ...Hispanic is an ethnic group not a race. More like 75%+ white.

#13 Democrats are the war party. Just or not Democrats got us into WW1, WW2, Korea, & Vietnam.

Historically, outside of the Bush Family, Republicans have been opposed to war (with the exception of war to end slavery and a few brushfires)
