Thank you, Eric.
I’ve always found “Happy Memorial Day” to be a bit of a non sequitur.
And yes, we owe a debt.

@captain – well, Mussolini supposedly was, albeit upside-down after being shot. But it was a good start.

“@captain – well, Mussolini supposedly albeit upside-down after being shot. But it was a good start.” But doesn’t the captain admire Mussolini? “Everything for the State, nothing against the State, nothing outside the State.” To State-shtuppers like the captain, such words put a tingle in the pants.
What’s odd to me is that each year I hear a lot of rhetoric about soldiers who died to preserve our freedom, but Americans seem to be less and less interested in freedom. As Albert Jay Nock wrote decades ago:
“The American people once had their liberties; they had them all; but apparently they could not rest o’nights until they had turned them over to a prehensile crew of professional politicians.”
