Friends

Our life’s are intertwined with a series of family, acquaintances, co-workers, friends and of course enemies (those who haven’t become friends yet).

A wise man once said that in life you can’t always choose your friends, but you must always be able to identify your enemies.

A wise grandma cautioned her grandchild that not everyone who calls you friend is your friend.

The good book tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who spitefully use us. That could actually be a very long list in itself.

I’ve always been a military guy and there is no “X” in military. Friends, real friends usually lasted through out the assignment and were never seen again. It’s like they slipped into oblivion.

Once in a while they reappeared at a totally different duty station or some time after hanging up our uniforms.

Maybe a phone call or a knock on the door? True friends need no introduction. They just are – friends.

I don’t put stock in someone saying we’re just like brothers.

My brothers are nothing like those I call friends. My brothers- you know we argued, fought each other but nobody, I mean nobody messes with MY brothers.

Sisters, well coming from a family of all boys I wouldn’t know nuthin about sisters. However sisters-in-laws – WOW I have more than a few from both sides of my family tree. I wouldn’t want to mess with none of em!

SonsI have none, but daughters – yeah I have a couple and I’d advise against going up against those gals. They’d eat you up & spit you out – smiling the whole time – just like their mom.

Speaking of Mom, I sure do miss her and Dad – a lot! – RTM

I am the Real Truckmaster: 1. I am a born-again Christian (a sinner saved by the grace of God). 2 I am a retired US Army Transportation Sergeant First Class (E-7), my last position of assignment was as the "Truckmaster" of the US Army Transportation Motor Pool in Yokohama Japan (1989-90). 3. I am an amateur military historian. 4. I am a Thailand Veteran of the Vietnam War. 5. I detest "Politics as Usual". 6. I'm pro-life (Abortion is murder) and there is no justification or excuse for it. 7. I believe that we must place the security and welfare of America First! Clarification of Real Truckmaster Blogs For those who follow my blog posts on RTM blogs let me clarify and clear up some confusion. I write highlighting the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of the far-left's war on anything Trump. There are too many willing to argue without merit and I would be remiss attempting to argue against their ignorance, they have way too much experience. My writings are my personal opinion intended to be educational in nature, a bit humorous, satirical, while being informative providing food for thought, which is sorely lacking today. For those who find my posts offensive, I am truly sorry, you have the right NOT to read them as have many before you. I will not attempt to change your mind politically, but provide the opportunity to show something you may wish to consider, thereby illuminating prejudice and misinformation! - I am the Real Truckmaster!
