@sentdefender This is 100% accurate and sucks to pay, San Diego is the same, honestly cheapest option around tho. They won’t fix the cover on your vehicle if it blows off or moves learned that the hard way.
@realannapaulina Good, some base facilities are sad to see, and the conditions of military housing is worse in some cases. Don’t even get me started on barracks for the youngest SVM.
Four of the six reserve soldiers with the U.S. Army’s 103rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command, that were killed in an Iranian drone strike on a Tactical Operations Center (TOC) at the Port of Shuaiba in Kuwait on Sunday:

As yet another preemptive war is begun in the Middle East, John Quincy Adam’s words of wisdom still ring true:
“Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.”
Like most Americans I have sympathy for the plight of the Iranian people and all subjected people around the globe, from North Korea to Tibet.
But as Adam’s wrote, America: “goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.
She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.
She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.”
The Constitution conferred the power to declare or initiate war to Congress for a reason, to make war less likely.
Madison wrote that “the Executive Branch is the branch most prone to war, therefore, the Constitution, with studied care, delegated the war power to the legislature.”
As with all war, my first and purest instinct is wish Americans soldiers safety and success in their mission.
But my oath of office is to the Constitution, so with studied care, I must oppose another Presidential war.

Failed is quite the reach pal. Still waiting on a text/call from him after I got shipped off like a piece of garbage. Can’t wait to see you twice a year, Coach.
