I agree so much with this!

I watched the boys ahead of me in high school get their draft notices as seniors, if they had turned 18.

And some of them were actually drafted.
And some of those came home draped in the flag.

We wore POW or MIA bracelets for Viet Nam servicemen.

Not boots. People. 💔

Maine Veteran Brian McGinnis has finally been released from jail after protesting the War in Iran that we should have never been dragged into! His arm was broken by Senator Brian Sheehey who thought he would help the Capitol Police that night instead of just going his own job.🤬

I don’t want to see those empty boots at a memorial service.

And to boost their need to use violence to hide their own lack of courage and misguided sense of masculinity.

This is why we have to look our every day heroes right in the eye and make the case why THEIR lives should be on the line. Not one of these TV hoes has the courage to even make the case, let alone put their lives on the line.

The trick is those sending the boots are cowards who never served or like Kegstand Petey were combat tourists stopping in to check a few boxes on their resume and leaving before it got...dangerous.

They and their kids will be safe while yup, our finest will face the horrors of war.

Gods protect us

Those are not “boots on the ground.” Those are real live people we would be sending to Iran. We need to recognize that.

Square format in bold painterly acrylics on canvas. Yellow and orange large leaves float over your head in the foreground against a background of tall straight black trunks and green foliage of evergreen trees with some blue sky peeping through on the right and in even smaller gaps in the top left corner. Above is a canopy of smaller yellow leaves with darker yellow leaves behind them and in between are some small twisted branches of almost black, whereas the large leaves in the foreground have no obvious branches connecting them so appear to float. The ground is a small glimpse of deep orange. Signed bottom left in light blue, Liam Daly

A #painting from a couple of years back. "Golden Leaves V" was started many years ago when I had a studio in an old cobbled stableyard, and a few acres of woods led down to the River Liffey so I would happily lose and find myself in them all the time. And who wouldn't? #art #SpeirGhorm
