MARCIA My understanding is that Tubby Trump has not been accorded security clearance by the Biden administration. If he has this ubiquitous ‘red phone,’ hopefully it has the number of Attorney General Garland, were he to decide to plead guilty to constitutional insurrection.
As for Chuck Colson, I recall he stating how glorious and mystifying it was to be in a president’s aura. It may have been him who was astonished that, as a former private in the Army, he would be saluted by White House Marines. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
When I was off on an emergency mission to eastern Congo in October, 1964, the commanding Marine colonel at the airport refused to provide this civilian K rations as I was going alone into rebel-infiltrated provinces. To break this standoff, I told him to call his commanding officer, the American ambassador, on his private phone at 3:00 a. M. And explain to him why his house guest (me) couldn’t get K rations. (I got them).
Earlier, going to Lodja, I had command over a C130 when it was on the ground. After a hairy first few hours, I could complete one final mission. The ambassador’s housekeeper had abandoned his hotel in Lodja in 1960. He desperately wanted his fancy meat cutter as as memory of pre-independence. Also, his wife was dying of cancer.
The captain of the C 130 was getting nervous about the unsettled situation on the ground—drunken Congolese soldiers. The destroyed UN plane with crew members still aboard. I affirmed that I was in command of the plane on the ground.
The captain seemed apoplectic, when the meat cutter arrived. Darn, he never saluted me.
Marcia I take that as a backhanded salute. I continue to be a warm-hearted pain in the ass. As my wife asks “What do you intend to be, if you ever grow up? Clap if you believe.
