"Worst job managing virus"
Oh.
Who's job is that anyways?
We the people, with the help of and leadership of, our elected officials. (in a perfect world at any rate).
Funny, i lost a Great Uncle, David Scherf, US Marine Corp, invading a Japanese stronghold in the south pacific, Peleliu Island, where he was shot by the Japanese and died two days later.
My Grandpa (David's father), told me stories about WWII and how the country sacrificed so much and united behind a common enemy in WWII. He talked about how they gave up driving (you weren't allowed to drive if you didn't have a express need and were issued gas stamps), how they gave up food so it could go to troops abroad. How they couldn't run lights and appliances at night to conserve energy and how to keep blackouts in effect. How they gave up any spare metal machinery they had to help recycle iron for tanks and ships. How they gave up going out, movies, entertainment, money, food and possessions and were happy to do so!
Nowadays, we've become a bunch of spoiled, entitled, selfish individuals. Everything is wrapped up in "freedom", but it's really not about freedom (see my "no shoes, no shirt, no service argument), it's about entitlement, political rally cries and me, me, me. We've become a bunch of snowflakes.
Here's a picture of my Great Uncle, David Scherf, US Marine Corp. He sent home an engraved (David engraved it with his name) Japanese Carbine he captured from a dead Japanese soldier from an earlier island they cleared. My Grandpa received it the same time he received notice of his son's death. I now own that Japanese rifle. I'll post later pictures of it.
Divided we fall indeed.
