Oops, there it was

 

President Biden’s speech was far from inspiring. A reader of Fox News said the speech “will be talked about years from now.” Did he hear the same speech I heard?

I remember President Kennedy’s inaugural speech. “Bear any burden, pay any price.” “Let the word go forth, the torch has been passed to a new generation.” Those more than “Ask not what your country can do for you…” I was 15 and malleable. Four years later I was in 1st Cavalry Division in Korea. Five years later I was in the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment at Fort Meade, Md., training for Vietnam. Six years later I had been in Vietnam for seven weeks.

Biden is not likely to call for sacrifices of time and blood. That sort of thing is frowned upon in Democratic Party circles.
