It’s the day those who didn’t serve in the military honor those who did.
And it’a also two days after the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall – a symbolic event, to be sure, but one whose symbolism should not be diluted by modern revisionism.
And there’s a connection: while Communism is not a sustainable model of governance (like its passive-aggressive cousin “Democratic Socialism”). there is no guarantee that when it falls it won’t be replaced by something even worse.
And among the reason that Soviet communism fell when it did was the fact that two generations of American (and NATO) soldiers ensured that “inducing a conflict to keep the peoples’ minds off their misery” wasn’t a valid end-game.
The world changed thirty years ago last Saturday because American will, and American steel, and American troops, ensured that that change took place in its proper lane.
Nobody (and that means you, Democrats) predicted the wall, and the blood-lusting tyrants who built it, would go away.
Well, almost nobody.....
