Donald Trump is so delusional as to think somewhere near the U.S.-Canada border there is a giant faucet—as big as the wall of a building—that takes a full day to turn on. Donald Trump thinks this...
RE: Vance as a REMF. I have to admit I spent my military career as a REMF. Too young for Vietnam, too old for the War on Terror. I recall Robert Heinlein wrote an SF novel once "The Glory Road."

Sometimes your personnel file ends up in one department, sometimes the other. With the benefit of hindsight, I can now see that for me, it was Fairy Godmother all the way. So if you're a REMF like Vance, you should count your blessings and keep your mouth shut.
"New convenience-store Catholic JD Vance is majorly creeped out by parochial schools:"
Alternate wording.
Bowman aka Hamel aka Vance, a professed Catholic convert, although not married in a Catholic ceremony, to a Hindu woman, apparently calls for Nuns to either not teach children or violate their vows.
He just told the whole world on live teevee. Will be interesting to see if the national political press can report on what was right in front of them, or if they will clean-and-rewrite even that epic failure in order to preserve "balance".
It all sounds like Abe Simpson's "So I tied an onion to my belt" story, if it were full of malice and vainglory. His unscripted speech defies summarization. If one quotes any sentence, it sounds out of context because there is no context, only malice and vainglory.
Bill Mauldin had a great cartoon on RAMF's. I can't find it now via the Google. His book "Up Front" is somewhere in our book cases. Too bad I can't link to a cartoon that speaks to the issue.

Yet Another Reminder (thanks, Mr Vance!) that Cadet Bone Spurs HAS a guiding principle. And that it’s

Perhaps he is remembering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wind_(1928_film) ?
I was a Rear Area MF in Vietnam.
