Damn Grumps, you are as bad as Smitty, a pair of armchair Generals enjoying the battle in the trenches from their nice safe living rooms.
Rest assured ''my team'' I'm right behind you, 3000 miles behind you on the other side of an Ocean.
None of these people are on my team, I'm perfectly willing to close with and destroy people with maximum speed violence and agression, for my team, but first of all, I'm not in the chain of command at this juncture, so I have no authority to do that, short of self defense as a last resort that is, but moreover, I pay my taxes, to include armed agents of the state to deal with Bolshevists attempting to legislate from the streets by intimidation and mayhem.
As for American Millienials killing each other in street battles over their hormonally fueled angst? Jolly good sport, wot? Let them fight, it's not like there's anything else on, hockey season is still more than a month away.
Three test series against the West Indies starts today but it's raining so might not get much play.
Never mind I always did enjoy a circus, it's hillarious to most people over here, Trump could get the clown job at cirque de soliel after the impeachment......
As if I would have any compunction about sending young people over the top from my armchair, I mean really, I'm no republican, it's not a people's army, if you took the Queen's Schilling, don't come crying to me if you get sent over the top, that's the job, don't like it, don't enlist. It's a contract of unlimited liability to the Crown, but nobody forces you to sign it. As to "General", no officer was I, but now that I am the Landed Gentry, all those Generals answer to we.
Now, if you're talking rabble rousers and rabbles roused, populist mobs engaged in wanton street violence? If I had my druthers, the Generals would put a stop to it, forthwith, but as I am not an American governor, and so the National Guard does not answer to me, nothing I can do about that, in the meantime, since I despise populist rabble rousers, I'm perfectly happy for them to kill each other, darwinian self selection, eh wot?
