Let's hope we never get into a real war. I can see it now: "Sargeant, would you please tell the enemy to cut it out---their bombs are too bright and too noisy. Also, you failed to designate which foxholes are free speech zones." We are in trouble.
"We are in trouble."

Have been for some time.

Like Dad used to say whenever some fluff piece made the news: "Good times!". Meaning that if times were more challenging, such as having to bust your butt for the essentials of life, we'd not have time to pay attention to things like sensory-friendly shopping, safe spaces, 104 genders (according to my granddaughter, that was the count about five years ago--probably more now), offensive t-shirts/signs/whatevers, etc. etc. etc. Mom and Dad (probably can be said for most of us here) were products of the Great Depression and knew just how valuable it was to have a job and the security of knowing where your next meal was coming from. You paid attention to THAT, not to terminal airheadism.
