If you were in a foxhole, and rounds and tracers were going over your head...

...and rockets and explosives were going off all around you?

You wouldn't care if the person by your side was black, white, Democrat, or Republican, you would be fighting together to survive.

As a democracy, that is where we are today.

was a rethuglican, and we were fighting russians, I would wonder if the guy supposed to be on my side would rather be on the other side.

"you did this, this is because of you! " the mob was at the door I think she did care if the people around her were republican. she feared for her life. Most of the guys I work with are republican. I would not want to be in a foxhole with any of them they are macho unprincipled people and would not stand for me in battle. That said, I have never been in the military so this is just my view as a civilian.

so devastatingly bad.

It’s the same situation which keeps LE and Fire personnel so tight together.
