I saw another article on "Democrats Recruit Vets" a few weeks ago, and
what struck me was that most of them were Navy or Marines, and they all
were officers. Same thing here in this article. Gee, I wonder why it is
that the enlisted don't want to represent an agenda to wreck America?
Could it be that they're sick and tired of "death by LGBTQWERTY

Yeah. "Grozny" is commonly translated into English as "Dread" which, from my understanding, is the common modern meaning of the term. That literal meaning led to Ivan IV's epithet being translated as "Terrible" in English historiography, which might well be inaccurate. He was much more complicated a figure than a word like "Terrible" would imply in English. I think "Awe-Inspiring" actually nails down both the negative (the Oprichnina, anyone" and the positive (Finishing of the Tatars as a threat) aspects of his legacy.

Macron mentions US Marines in WWI in France
Posted by: votermom certified russian matryoshka bot at April 24, 2018 09:35 AM (hMwEB)
Macron brought an oak tree from Belleau Wood that he and PDT planted in front of the White House. While the fight in the Ardennes was much bigger and more decisive than the fight in Belleau Wood, it was a moment that the French treasure and their admiration for the Marines knows no bounds.
Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daly famously uttered "C'mon you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?" as the Marines took the fight to the Germans, breaking a German offensive and helping change the course of the war.
Gunny Daly was awarded 2 Medals of Honor, and did not complain about the reasons for his combat deployments. Semper Fidelis.

I saw another article on "Democrats Recruit Vets" a few weeks ago, and
what struck me was that most of them were Navy or Marines, and they all
were officers. Same thing here in this article. Gee, I wonder why it is
that the enlisted don't want to represent an agenda to wreck America?
Could it be that they're sick and tired of "death by LGBTQWERTY
PowerPoint" and other terrible ideas from the officer corps?
Posted by: pookysgirl at April 24, 2018 09:30 AM (XKZwp)
How timely. There's a local progressive who just so happens to be a retired Navy officer who lives here, and who our local fish wrap regularly gives space to on the Opinion page. His name is Ed Conant, and he LOATHES PDT. So, this morning he has three columns devoted to:
"President Trump does not respect military culture"
This guy gives all officers, active duty and retired, a bad name. My late dad was an AF officer who got out after 22 years because he was sick of serving with fellow officers who were more concerned about political futures than they were their country.

Correct. "Grozny" literally means "Dread" in Russian, but the word has a double connotation that is obscured by the English translation. "Awesome" (in the traditional sense) or "Awe-Inspiring" is more accurate.

This is the old, and therefore correct, meaning of the word terrible. "Terreris", as in "frighten". If any one of us actually saw one of God's Angels suddenly, it would inspire terror, at least for a few moments. I imagine "great and terrible" would be a very fitting description.

Two dozen people have been killed in violent demonstrations against

Kerry.
The communist bastard who was elected is turning Nicaragua into the next Cuba, I mean Venezuela, I mean . . .
Posted by: Adirondack Patriot at April 24, 2018 09:54 AM (ATVNj)
It's not that simple. Ortega was elected as a Sandinista, but has governed more as a populist than a socialist. He banned abortion a few years ago, because that was good for votes. His real big problem has been spending more money on populist program than the government takes in; running a huge deficit and building a huge debt. Now the IMF is starting to put the brakes on that. Rioting is mostly over his proposed cutbacks in Social Security benefits in an attempt to stem the tide of red ink. Note that Macron is doing the same thing in France, and also getting pushback from the would-be recipients.
And the real concern amongst more thoughtful Nicas is what happens when Ortega, who is well over 70, dies? His VP, and designated successor is his wife, Murillo, who people call "La Bruja", and who is a nasty piece of work.
