This is Biden's, AOCs and Bernie's Utopia.

LTC (Join to see) And all their comrades. I thought Hussein Obama was particularly America-hateful, but seemingly this destructive agenda goes way back. The Democrats have been preparing US to submit to the New World Order. Canada and most free Western countries on same track.

We've been sliding down a slippery slope since the 1960's. Lyndon Johnson was (my personal opinion) the greedy guy that kicked the door open to blatant deceit.

We have a president and administration that is working to keep our country on pace with the rest of the world. As I'm typing this I'm watching an advertisement for the Mercedes all electric vehicles now available locally. Look, I'm no fan of EVs but they are the future. Eventually they will progress beyond being the econo-box sized vehicles they are right now and I might actually consider one, I'm seeing great reports on the all electric pickups. Considering pickups were the original bed for SUVs, full sized electric vehicles won't be far behind.

At the end of the day, in your original comment, you need to note that the combustion engine was allowed to develop naturedly and slowly as you have noted about seeing horses downtown in the 50's. Because it developed slowly advances were made in engines and infostructure through the process and a better product was ready when the infostructure was there in the 50's and 60's. When you rush an action as they are doing now with wind and solar energy in addition to EV, you are putting the cart before the horse. Wind, solar, and EV's may be part of the solutions, but I doubt they will be the final energy solutions we are looking for. Too much mining and heavy metals required. MHO

SFC (Join to see) You're absolutely right. I just don't see the "rush" you refer to. I see incentives, long term goals, and bills to improve the infrastructure to support those advances in alternative sources.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - I have to smile at what you say sir, the rush (that it appears you don’t want to admit is rushing) are the incentives and bills to improve the infrastructure you mention that equals throwing vast amounts of my money at something that isn’t ready for prime time yet and may never be. This is beside the practice of putting deadlines on ideas: We need to make all cars EV's by 2035 of it's the end of the world. What if EV's aren't the answer. What happened to all that money? You are assuming we have the right solution (EV's) to the energy/environmental problem we appear to have, where in reality we just don’t know.

It the instance of the combustion engine we spoke about there was about 50 years where the industry survived “on its own” with the “bad ideas and procedures dying” on the side of the road and being left behind and forging ahead with what works. It’s a long painful process that needs to play out. By injecting mega money into it, people won’t let go of the bad ideas, that’s just human nature. When we flood the process with money the bad ideas don’t get left on the side of the road, and as my mother would say “We are throwing good money after bad (money).”. When my mother would say that I never got the meaning of it to tell the truth. In our conversation here I could hear her saying it to me like it was yesterday. She wasn’t an educated person, but she had a lot of common sense, some of which I’m just coming to appreciate in my mid 60’s.

Davos!

You speak the truth.

Holy smokes, another product of Ft. Leonardwood! I was there in 1967... a few years before you. We were building bridges during November and it was ccccold in Missouri. Repaired a few during TET 1968 in very hot humid weather... I liked Leonardwood better. Upon my return to USA I had orders to push troops at Ft. Benning, but I couldn't do it. By the time My dad asked when I was supposed to be at my new duty station I was already about a week AWOL. I knew I couldn't look the new recruits in the eyes, knowing what I would be training them for. I was able to get in front of the Command Sergeant Major for the 3rd MP Group, CI at Fort McPherson on my way to Benning. When he was reading my records he stopped short and asked me if I realized that I was AWOL... I told him that I thought that was just matter of perception. He delivered a VERY LOUD exchange so I told him that somewhere in the paperwork it should show that I have another 30 days of paid leave between that day and my discharge date in 6 months. Then I told him that I didn't think it would be very difficult to adjust the future leave days to 23, and then everything should be square. After his red face started cooling off he stood up and said "Son, you work for me now and he made me the "Radar O'Riley" of the 3rd Army MP Group CI for my final 6 months.

SP5 Robert Kennedy - I took my basic late in life after school and working a few years down Houston. I entered basic the winter of 83-84, actually reported for basic 2 days after Christmas. The reception area was old WW2 vintage buildings that I can still see in my mind. It was a very cold winter. I remember running from warm up tents to the firing line when we were zeroing our M16's, and then back to the tents. I was going to ask how you were a 12B SP5 but you explained that. You got some history there that's for sure. It's good everything worked out.
