May 26, 201412 yr Highly doubt it... If Twitter was such a terrible avenue for obtaining information, why does virtually every media outlet flash their Twitter user names and hash tags during broadcasts? I understand that older people may not grasp the idea and concept of Twitter. Some don't embrace change, some just aren't computer/media savvy. Since joining Twitter, I have learned of MANY more happenings in our world before I saw/heard them on TV, and the numbers aren't even close.You miss the target I'm aiming at. Sadly, most aren't like you. See post 132.
May 26, 201412 yr Don't ever doubt older people. There are plenty of older people that deserve plenty of doubt....

May 26, 201412 yr Keep that kind of talk up and mcpapa is going to crack you one with his cane. I would if I was physically able to wield it. #toopoopedtopop
September 4, 201412 yr Author Fed Up Army Ranger’s Stark Response to #BringBackOurGirls Shows the Vanity of ‘Hashtag Activism’ I saw this posted on Facebook. Although I'm not a follower of the website in the link, nor do I necessarily go for the "gung-ho" attitude all the time, I DO definitely agree about the perspective on "hashtag internet activism".

September 5, 201412 yr Haven't heard much from Mrs. Obama about Boko Haram lately... And you won't, her pouty face was just a photo op to push an agenda and act like she is interested.
September 5, 201412 yr I'm sure she doesn't sleep well at night . She was obviously devastated over the situation . ( for about 90 seconds )
September 9, 201412 yr This shows a lack of respect by this guy. Would he do that if a General's wife did "hashtag activism?" His lieutenant's wife? Clyde, the members of the military have lost faith in this President. They don't respect him. That extends to his wife who appears to be very involved in the celebrity part of being the 1st lady. No different than many other 1st ladies, mind you. If I was in the military, I would have a very hard time supporting Obama. I would have had a hard time supporting Bush on Iraq. Those guys are getting hosed.

If I was in the military, I would have a very hard time supporting Obama. I would have had a hard time supporting Bush on Iraq. Those guys are getting hosed. I have to agree with Clyde. They may not respect him and feel he is totally wrong but to "break the chain of command" is a definite "NO-NO" in the history of military discipline. I would agree that he has EVERY REASON to not respect the President. But to say it publicly is making himself feel better and doing nothing to make the situation any better.

While I agree with what Clyde and you say, at some point for the greater good one must step outside the chain of command to prevent a total disaster. He may sacrifice his career, but it is for the good of the country.

He may sacrifice his career, but it is for the good of the country. In what way. What has changed that brought the better good to the country? What new voice that wasn't known before has been heard and made the nation healthier? What policy changed?
September 10, 201412 yr Eventually someone has to step up in the military and say. "THIS ISNT WORKING AND ITS OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEFS FAULT" So many Generals have been fired for reasons other than misconduct. Christianity has been taken out of the military, which IMO is wrong and bad.
