Biden Friendsgiving!

Well the Commander in Chief wanted to send some Thanksgiving cheer to the Troops. I give him a C for effort. Biden went to Naval Station Norfolk on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, November 19th. Thanksgiving is Thursday November 23! I have been through eight Thanksgivings and numerous Christmas’ where I was not with my family while I was serving the US Navy. The commands did put a very nice spread for the holiday meal but; when you’re a single GI, or your married to someone like my ex wife, or your on the other side of the world, Thanksgiving sucks! If Biden wants to make really special, he should have come on Thanksgiving Day! But “Lunchbucket Joe” will be heading off to Nantucket for Thanksgiving, where he will spend time with no troops! This is the same Commander in Chief whose rank and file were told to apply for Food Stamps because the shitty pay they receive doesn’t cover all the food costs! And I know some of those squids were “voluntold” to appear at the “Friendsgiving.” Take it from me. GI’s love their weekends off! Even if they sit home and do nothing! It’s better than work.

If President Biden wants to show his love for the troops, he should take after his predecessors. George Bush spent Thanksgiving in Iraq. Donald Trump visited troops in Afghanistan on Thanksgiving and troops in Iraq for Christmas! Even Barack Obama visited the troops stationed in the hot zone of Hawaii!
