    Yea-ah, worked so well for the Russian Army against the Nazis, Mainly, because the patriotic soldiers had patriotic soldiers behind them who used machine guns on any front line patriotic soldiers who attempted to retreat!

    Aside to COL Jerry and the other Denizens of the Air: Chuck Yeager, 89, flies an F-15 to Mach 1.3, exactly 65 years after he broke the sound barrier in the X-15.

    My take, here at Chuck Yeager, 89, still in the air

    (That’s Major General Charles Elwood Yeager (Ret), to the rest of us.)
    Wikipedia has a good article. His decorations are at the end of the article (Air Force Distinguished Service Medal, Silver Star with bronze oak leaf cluster, Purple Heart, &c. &c.) Not bad for a good ol’ boy from West Virginia.

    IIRC, FDR’s Brain Trust ( very young Harvard & Columbia Commies) quit his administration after the first term out of frustration and disillusionment with FDR’s indecisiveness, lack of knowledge, and petty tyranny. IOW, they didn’t like the man.
    Likewise, I think disillusionment among Uhbama’s coterie is simmering just beneath the surface, and will come to full boil if he screws up another debate.

    History doesn’t repeat itself. It stutters.

    And just think: if FDR had not replace Wallace with Truman in 1944, his would have been the first Obama presidency. As it was, he missed being president by less than 3 months.

    ^ Not the first time the republic has had a Biden for a VP. So far, it hasn’t mattered much, but that’s been more by luck than design.

    Aside: once he’s out of office, I’m thinking Joe could start a new career playing Santa at Harley Davidson dealerships. All the biker babes could sit in his lap and tell him what they want for Christmas* — maybe the biker guys too.
