It was a very long time ago but Col and I worked for the same outfit for a season.
He is solid as a rock with a British accent to boot.

American military guys and Christians are virtually the only people who are really helping the Ukrainian people. All these leftists want other people to go over there, but do they ever go themselves? Virtually never. God Bless Col Milburn, and Godspeed to him and his colleagues.

In most cases, yes. Franklin Graham is over there too, and I don’t think he was ever military. He was primarily who I was thinking of.

Well – to be perfectly frank – it is never a good look to beat up a preacher’s son.

Actually, I take that back: I saw him speak at a rally here a few years ago. I cannot believe that I forgot about that. Yes, he definitely comes across as a saintly man.

“Well – to be perfectly frank – it is never a good look to beat up a preacher’s son.”
Lol 🙂 When I lived in Alaska, they used to call preachers’ kids “preachers’ kids,” with the understanding that preachers’ kids were often wild. I never heard that expression in Massachusetts, but it was a thing in Alaska.

Preachers’ daughters – do you mean? Almost always accommodating to a young man’s wants and needs.

Well, in Alaska, the term “preachers’ kids” applied to both sons and daughters. Whether male or female, they were said to be wild 🙂

Depends on how you define “merc”, ST. Those involved here are most emphatically *not* trigger-pullers, by design.

People are all over the map on their definitions of ‘merc.’
Merc has pretty much lost any real meaning as far as I am concerned.

Solid copy. Language is so elastic today, it’s like linguini, for Pete’s sake. Frustrating at times.
