EVERY REPUBLICAN KID IN AMERICA SHOULD BE FORCED TO EXPERIENCE THIS KIND OF COMBAT


It is well known that REPUBLICAN kids ALWAYS find a way of getting out serving in the military, but as a veteran I would suggest EVERY REPUBLICAN kid in America be forced to join the military and prove how tough they are in the type of combat action shown in this video.

I was a Squad Leader in the United States Army Combat Engineers during the Korean War and not one GI in my squad was a Republican. Hell no. The Republican kids all used college deferments to avoid military service 50 years ago and they are still doing it today.

If I wasn't too old now, I would love to re-up and see what it would be like if ONE---JUST ONE---REPUBLICAN kid were to end up in a unit like the one shown in this video.

YELLOW is the favorite color of REPUBLICAN KIDS when it comes to serving in the United States military.
