No one provokes me with impunity

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Happy Birthday United States Marine Corps

Flag Raising on Iwo Jima

As a former Marine, this has been an important date on my calendar since 1983 when I first volunteered for service. It's become double so, since it's also my father's yahrzeit. Happy Birthday Marines!
