Using the phrase "fallen angels" does NOT mean anything remotely 'demonic' in nature. Unless you were here on post these past 3 months dealing with all the loss that we have, attended the funerals/memorials for these men---give it a freakin rest. Better yet---come over to the Madigan Gate bridge, find the gentleman who stands on the corner with his sign and DAV badge. Walk up to him and shake his hand and/or a hug. He's a sweet and humble man who gets $390 a MONTH for his disability. And if you're a really nice person---give him a $20/50/100 out of YOUR pocket so that he can eat, shower, sleep some place warm tonight.

"Fallen angels"?? That's the term for demonics who have fallen from heaven's grace! Way to go Biden! What an uneducated rube.
