rolling along

"The Army Goes Rolling Along" is the official song of the United States Army and is typically called "The Army Song". It is adapted from an earlier work titled the "U.S. Field Artillery March".  March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free
Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory We're the Army and proud of our name We're the Army and proudly proclaim… Then it's Hi! Hi! Hey! The Army's on its way. Count off the cadence loud and strong (TWO! THREE!) For where e'er we go, You will always know That The Army Goes Rolling Along.

There was no army rolling along nor any other Military branch of the government service for Litigator Stephen R Castor serving as minority counsel during the impeachment hearings, and the only uniform he was wearing was a typical Brooks Brother’s (I am a pricy lawyer)  suit and that slick haircut as he tried his best insinuate that Lt Col. Vindman was ONLY a wannabe spy for Ukraine. No Hi! Hi! Hey, for this 47-year-old dude, never serving in the Military. His current patriotic duty is to discredit a Purple Heart Lt. Col. Then we have Jim (I know nothing about locker room showers and masturbating coaches at OSU), Jordan. His Goddamn it, Bless America uniform is a jacketless outfit, with a long-sleeved shirt and of course that nasty bitch of a tie knotted below his first two open buttons. No marching along to the Military for this dude either, just the marching orders of the Freedom Caucus, the guys and gals who hate regulations, never paying taxes an consider the poor and elderly burdens. Of Course, we have Devin (let me service all of your treasonous wants and whims Trump, double agent) Nunes, whose only interest is to DISCOVER the whistleblower.  Imagine his skill set had he ever been a member of the Military, what with his weasel-like ways and the ability to slide into dark and dank places, and of course without batting an eye, swearing he NEVER shared secret information with Trump. His uniform is the suit and tie and so much grease on his hair which he applies from the rot of the excess snake oil he sells. You got Elise Stefanik, a younger version of Kellyanne Conway, able to lie right to your face, slam questions at you from a long list of gotcha questions on a legal pad. She also never served in the Military. Her uniform I a picture at her side, (I suppose she was not his type, neither of Trump’s hands were touching Elise’s boobs or butt). The one dude who di serve in the Military, all dressed up in his let's go to church suit, was a bit appalled that Lt. Col. Vindman was wearing his uniform. And somehow this Mormon from Utah, suddenly believed that people in uniforms speak a different kind of English. Just like the Mormon Church, leadership who speak as Gods or anointed from God!

For the record never served in the Military, my Draft Lottery number was high enough that I did not have to be drafted and I did not enlist. If any of the above-mentioned guys and gal did not serve it was their choice, but the fact that ALL of them have DEMEANED and tried to DESTROY  a true war hero and American in the Military goes beyond the pale. All of these GOP goons have no problem accepting the uniforms of German Nazi’s the white sheets of the Klan, the Confederate enemy colors, but find no American Pride in defending Lt Col Vindman, who was doing his job in trying to understand the limits of good and bad permitted by Trump. All of the above mentioned, also are still insistent that “taking a knee”, makes you Communist a Socialist, but paling around with Socialists and Communists a President is COOL. And one final word…where is ARMY Generals coming forward to let America understand scapegoating one of our Troops in uniform is UN-AMERICAN!
