Whether you are a pacifist or not I think most can agree that the Vietnam War sounded harrowing for lower-level personnel on all sides. I feel so badly for this brave veteran who was awarded by President Scrambles. 

I also think someone, anyone needs to take mercy on the president, who has been, I will say (derisively) a career politician and chronic fabulist. People with dementia deserve a dignified retirement with appropriate care. 

A not Infrequent thought I have is the hope that if I lose the battle against head kitties someone will say good morning to me, give me a nice glass of pureed steak, and let me wander safely in a garden. No one should end like this. 

Every time I hear one of these incidents now I just hear the Curb theme, but playing in a sad slow minor.
