@SpitfireFilly Happy 30th Birthday!

Let's cut the crap: If Ukraine falls, American safety is at risk.

If Elon thinks standing with Ukraine makes me a traitor, then he knows nothing about keeping America safe.

Hold the fuck on. Are you telling me the guy who applied for a Canadian passport thru his Canadian-born mother to avoid South Africa’s mandatory military service, has the nerve to call 25-year decorated Navy combat vet Mark Kelly a traitor. Oh, hell no.

I am with my fellow naval officer, @CaptMarkKelly

🚨NEW: Elon Musk has called Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) a “traitor” after visiting Ukraine this weekend. Kelly is a 25-year U.S. Navy pilot veteran and retired astronaut.

RETWEET if you stand with @CaptMarkKelly against Elon Musk’s unpatriotic attacks!

@mastropotato I was at Birmingham University between 1981 to 1984, I can't believe that I used to drive around the Bull Ring with absolute confidence! Some of the best years of my life.

@AntonyRowntree @WeHaveWaysPod Certainly did, as a cassette!

@militaryhistori @AliceB01973554 Didn't we all sport a moustache in the early 80's?! I kept mine for many years, indeed I still maintain a shadow moustache today!

[Mike Osborne BA CTA AIfA @MikeOsborne62]

@mastropotato The security team at Birmingham University used these (in dark blue) in the early 80's.
