100-year-old World War Two veteran Carl Spurlin Dekel broke down into tears describing the state of America. He said the United States is “just not the same” and that the country “is going to hell in a handbasket.”
“I’ve lived a good life. I’ve had a lot of love and happiness. Smiling, telling everybody that everything was beautiful every day. If I went into my church and didn’t think everything was beautiful they would think that I was sick. I’m not that way. I sincerely believe in this whole world that everything is beautiful.

Evil men and women in charge. And things are heading for a bad turn. The Supreme Court's FIVE major rulings are a beginning in using the law and the legal system to turn things back to the Constitution, but as always "the enemy gets a vote", and we may not be able to avoid an actual civil war, a shooting war to turn things around.
I really, REALLY hope that we can do this without any violence, but just because I and many more like me do not want violence, may have no influence on what the leftists do.

I served from '81 to '01 and its not the country I signed up for either. If we were to be taken over by a communist country I'm not sure I would see the difference.

"This is not the country we fought for". Indeed, Mr. Dekel. Indeed. What changed? We gave up control of our schools, news media, financial institutions, and entertainment industry. The way we regain control is to {fill in the blank}. I sincerely hope that #1 is correct and America can be restored peacefully. But we need to get off our asses and make sure this is the outcome.

Re: OP - My WWII, Korean, and Vietnam vet father also died at age 96, while Trump, the final person for whom he voted to be president, was in office. He also avoided seeing how Trump was treated in the 2020 election.

That's what I have thought about my uncle who died when his plane was shot down in WWII. It is as though he died in vain.

This is one of the saddest things ever...Men who think and believe like him are called "Nazi's" today, just as those of Us who had family that went and fought to free slaves are called "White supremacist oppressive racists" today...by people who want to install Mussolini's policies while calling everyone else "Fascists", install Mao's policies while calling everyone else "dictators, tyrants and Totalitarians"..

It has only taken ONE generation to bring us back to the state of Americans romancing Communism.
- Public School systems were infiltrated and effectively brainwashed one entire generation.
- University systems solidified the ideology into heads of mush, glossing over the heinous history of Communism, and its abject failure wherever it was attempted.
- Big Social Networks began to slip in phantom socialist messages and one-sided political statements.
- Big Entertainment began bowing to China and massaging their messages to put Communism in a positive light, as well as egregiously portraying American history in a seamy and dark mood tied directly to racism and/or slavery whenever possible.
This is the first generation of Americans of which a majority are actually ashamed of their country. Communist Russia in the 1950's desperately attempted to get Americans to feel that way and launched many intrusions into our entertainment industry, broadcast media, and our institutions of higher education to no avail. That was status quo, until Bill Clinton opened the commerce door to China and began treating them like a valued trading partner. Since the 1990's we have destroyed this nation's socio-economic viability , ALL to the benefit of Communist China.
- Failure to acknowledge your enemy is WRONG.
- Making your enemy economically stronger is WRONG.
- Sending even ONE American job to your enemy is WRONG.
- Trading with your enemy is WRONG.

I come from a long line of veterans going back to the Revolution. My father a highly decorated WW1 vet. 1 older brother served in WWII, two in Korea, one wounded three times. I served in the early days of the Viet Nam War. During the Clinton Administration I counseled my children to stay as far away as possible from the U.S. Military as they could, as the military was not run as a meritocracy as it was/and should be. This period was the beginning of the destruction of the American Military and the country at large. It only accelerated under the Marxist regime of Barack Obama. Neither the military or the country are recognizable today under the incompetent and corrupt current administration. God Help Us.

#7-8 The video you posted worked for me.
I share the feelings of despair that this is not the America my father and uncles fought for 80 years ago, or TK fought for 55 years ago, or the country I have loved since my birth so much I have studied her history my entire life. Yet, I have hope in her miraculous founding and I firmly believe that there still remains a majority of free citizens with God-centered hearts. Hard times are upon us and there is no escaping that fact. Those that will persevere will find their strength in God, while those who will languish will find only slavery chained to the state.
Faith, hope and love will see us through, just as these virtues saw our founding father's through. God is not done with America. Our patron saint is Mary, the Mother of God under her title as the Immaculate Conception. We have a powerful patron saint as our intercessor. Catholics - start our Independence Day with a family Rosary. Remember, the family that prays together, stays together. And also therefore: the country that prays together, stays together.
God bless America. Now and Forever.

We are crying, too, my dearest, old man. My family, who served as well, feel your pain and never forget the veterans!!
Yesterday's Scripture reading is about men, women seeking the truth and the Word of God which no longer exists. (My paraphrase).
We are there. We are there indeed with these ruthless, soul less, mindless, Godless, behemoths in charge.
I want my country back. If we need to do violence in order for this to happen, then I'm on the front lines and I'll lead the charge.
I will fight for my God who blessed this country with the brilliant men who released it from British rule.
God bless America now more than ever!
FJB! FJB! FJB! FJB! FJB! FJB! FJB! FJB! FJB!

Yes #12
The media, especially TV, excels at making a small issue large and a small group of dissenters legion. They can inflame with their descriptions and show videos of anarchy and destruction they call ""mostly peaceful"..
I became aware of the media deceit during Vietnam. Yes, the film and videos the media showed were real but they were not the entire story. I learned the media does not tell the whole truth - only their truth.
Cronkite was asked what he missed about anchoring the news -" setting the agenda" and Jennings said "telling the people what I thought they need to know"

I think its important to remember that we did not vote for this. Americans do not want this. The election was stolen by Obama, Biden and their ilk. The majority of the country hates what is happening to it and wants it to return to prosperity, low inflation and a strong reputation around the globe. But to make the happen EVERYONE needs to vote. We need to vote out ALL RINOS as well as democrats communists) and then hold them accountable. After what the Supreme Court has been through these last few weeks, Ill bet they wish they had taken all of those challenges to the election that they refused to hear. They too are reaping what they sewed. Georgia is the biggest mess of all. They can' have an honest election with those RINOS in charge. (GET RID OF THE MACHINES)! Become a pole watcher, sign up for school boards and begin to throw these weirdos out. Why were there no tranny matches under Trump, why no push for Trannies in the schools and businesses under Trump? Just asking is Big Mike behind these policies? Are they trying to "soften" the public for the big reveal? Just asking!

My father built runways on New Guinea, Leyte, Palawan and the Phillipines facing snipers, monsoons and disease. If he were alive today he would be just as upset at the acquiescent younger generation.

I also want to say God Bless All Veterans and their families.
One of my concerns has been if we had a situation like 9-11 or like December 7, 1941 would this generation of young adults be willing to fight and die for preserving freedom in our country. I feel the same pain that this veteran felt about how our country is losing its moral compass and going down a very dangerous path. Please pray for our country!

Exactly. I'm glad all the men I grew up with who fought in WWII are gone and do not have to see what the communists have done and are doing to this country. I know I can't watch any documentaries on the founding of this country because I get fighting mad. It's even worse, because I live in an area that is filled with pre revolution and revolutionary war history.

I served from 81-91. The things that we believed, the things that we ALL believed in just 30 years ago will get you labeled a white supremacists extremist domestic terrorist and a very threat to democracy.
I'm 39 years this man's junior, and I don't recognize the country. Back as late as to 90's, abortion was legal, but you didn't brag about it. Being a communist disqualified you from any federal service. Churches and G-d weren't openly mocked and attacked. Being proud of your country was the norm. Meritocracy was encouraged.

I remember years ago, my wife and I went to Disneyland and attended "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln." Very uplifting. Then as we walked out, there in the lobby was a large portrait of Barack Obama. I was depressed for the rest of the day.
And to think how much worse it is now...

So true and so sad. They didn’t fight and die to defend Euro-Sociialism, Chinese communism and open borders. FJB is a bribe taking puppet of America’s enemies and must be impeached.

No, you didn't fight for this. You voted for it. You vote Democrat, you vote to destroy this country. Fighting for our country has earned you respect and admiration. Voting against this country earns you disrespect and shame. At 100, did you got e for FDR? Did you vote for Harry Truman? How about the Kennedys? LBJ get you vote? Jimmauh Carter included on your who's who list of remarkable fascist? One bet you crawled over rocks to vote for Clinton. Did you swallowed the hopey changy kool-aid? And the best for last, dd you vote against bad orange hair man and celebrate the coming of Diaper Joe?

Do you think Biden and the entire Dem party give a damn? It is about winning. It's Abortion on demand, no jail time for murder, no jail time for a demo-rat committing a crime...the stupid voter elects these evil blisters. And these dumb & stupid voters will cry and whine when they lose freedom. We can't fix stupid so the system goes Venezuela.

Well done, Sir. I salute you. There are a lot of us here that will fight on to wrest our wonderful nation back from the Bolsheviks. I am with Timber Queen, we are protected from above. Barring that, we start the squeeze. In the immortal words of the Great Charleston Heston..."From my Cold Dead Fingers!".

To all of you freaks who didn't like Trump because of his "caustic remarks." Imagine, he "lost" because of his speech. I am a Navy Veteran. During the beginnings of the VN war, then undeclared in the rubber plantations of VN and finally "the attack on one of our ships" off VN, that didn't happen.. I have the same thoughts and feelings as those of you who wonder what's going to happen to this country. We're headed to another Venezuela. Food shortages; fuel shortages, inflation. And old man fjb accuses us of being selfish. Carl Spurlin Dekel is not alone in his concerns. Carl, you are not alone. Thank you for your service. Pray for the recovery of the United States of America. it's getting harder to have hope.

A Must See Video this holiday weekend! If you don't tear up watching this then you just don't get it! I'm grateful my Dad died when President Trump was still in office. He hated what he saw happening, but Trump gave him some hope. I suspect other Gold Star families feel the same way. I know we do!
