It was a shithole.I was raised in Baltimore.President Trump on Saturday lashed out at Rep. Elijah Cummings and described Baltimore -- part of which the congressman represents -- as a "a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess" in which "no human being would want to live."
So, would you volunteer to fight for Commander in Chief, "Bonespurs" Trump, if your home was Baltimore?
Speaking for myself, I would suggest that all of the armed forces recruiting offices in the city might as well close up shop, and set up somewhere else, like Oklahoma.
I didn't enlist to serve a President.
I enlisted to serve my country.
Carter was President when I raised my right hand.
Should I have taken that into consideration?
If Carter had called your home a shithole where no person would want to live, I certainly would not have blamed you for telling him to go to hell.
It is still a shithole.
I surely didn't want to live there.
The first chance I got I signed up, just to get out. With no intention of returning.
Unfortunately my father didn't want to leave so I returned to care for him.
I'm out as soon as I retire.
Many of us who reside on the outskirts of the shithole still curse it.
It's easier to watch it burn from a distance.
