> SEMPER FIDELIS
Why the special treatment this morning? Is this for the dying vet who said his goodbye's here?
>What does Semper Fidelis mean Anon?
"Always Faithful". It has been associated with the Marine Corps for a very long time, but is not exclusive to it.
Marine's in the 20th and 21st centuries generally embrace it as our pledge to each other, our fellow marines, and our oath to defend the United States Constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic.
Marine's are well represented on this board, likely in part because of that. It's kind of an open secret.

>the attack on our farmers started during the 80s.
It started way before that. Farmers around here were "woke" by the mid '60's. My teen age education was all about the FED, deficit spending, subsidies for corporate farming, rigged markets, false shortages/overproduction, the rise of what would become the factory farming giants, bank collusion to ruin the small farms, corrupt governments colluding to ruin farmers with environmental/zoning/water use/land use policies, no control on conglomerates dictating food policy for their own profit, escalating/price gouging on tires, fuel, equipment, chemicals, seed and so much more.
No large group of common people has been so well educated in the ways of the cabal as farmers. What knowledge I have of farming in most other countries mirrors what has happened to us in the U.S.
But nah, I'm not bitter.
