Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick Proposes Military Draft for All Those Aged 65 and Older.

"Why should America's youth risk their lives fighting terrorists in places no one has heard of, such as Mazari Sharif and Albaghdadi?

Give these men and women a rifle and a walker, if necessary, and have them makes themselves useful.

At the very least, it will eventually reduce the costs associated with Medicare and Social Security."

Far fetched?

He did say THIS about the economy and the coronavirus.

"No one reached out to me and said, as a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that all America loves for your children and grandchildren?" he said. "If that's the exchange, I'm all in."

@texasdaddydom

And just what is so "blantantly untrue" about what he DID say, as noted in the post?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/texas-lt-gov-dan-patrick-021600858.html

He wants seniors TO DIE for his ideal "America."

Don't be an apologist for the idiot.

@beckyromero ??? are you trolling or really that dense the true part I am not calling untrue just the untrue part...

@texasdaddydom It’s an analogy for effect. You’re not supposed to think the first part is true, it’s intentionally absurd.

@QuixoticSoul people are responding as if it were true and she is doing nothing to clear it up

What does it tell you about the guy complaining when you have to explain that to him? 😂

@texasdaddydom That's why you have to hold to the fact that a person who is actually capable of performing the barest form of "research" will read the story by clicking the link. If that isn't true, then we are all, in fact doomed.

Have you never seen a satirical take on something? That would be amazing.
