The left’s tendency when you achieve something to say, “Well, that was easy for you but so-and-so couldn’t have done that for [purportedly good and noble reasons].”

First of all, no, it wasn’t in fact easy. It was not easy to grow up poor in rural North Florida and then go on to be an active paratrooper for five years. In no way could anything about that be described as “easy.” Why react that way? Do they really believe that everything anyone achieves or fails to achieve is due to social structures only? Because I do not and I’m 100% for more social support and programs where they make sense.

Second, this isn’t “give a crap about some loser shit” facility. Go down the road for that. They can help you. We don’t do that here.
