Imagine putting a fucking bird on your chest for forty years, saluting a piece of fabric, sacrificing your family and shit.

40 years of putting on that clown makeup and they just stick the nose on someone else.

I don't personally believe in what she believes in, but it's perfectly reasonable for someone who grew up during this country's Reagan era to truly and genuinely believe that serving in the military is a valuable and fulfilling purpose that's greater and more important than the needs of a single family.

Maybe it's clown makeup, but wouldn't it be nice to feel some sense of purpose in your life rather than spending it shit talking people on the internet?

What kind of bird, though? Like, we talking a chickadee? A northern flicker?
