A background note from the originator in The Bunker Boys
Ms Griner is a famous female basketball player who, in the past, has
disrespected our anthem, flag and country. She is now
behind bars in Russia, charged with drug smuggling, for which she
pleaded guilty. She is now screaming that America’s umbrella of
goodness should intercede on her behalf by begging the USA embassy
in Moscow to use any method of pressure to gain her release. It’s
funny that woke folk who get into trouble overseas never cry out to
the countries that they admire to help them with their problems!
The letter below should also be sent to NBA , NFL, MLB, and others
who make their living playing a game and also disrespect our nation,
its symbols, traditions, and our venerable veterans.
Dear Ms. Griner,
We hope that this letter finds you in good health, and we understand
you are having some rough times in your life. We are a group of old
Vietnam Combat Veterans from North Carolina. Our average age is
around seventy years old. We call ourselves "The Bunker Boys." We
spent a lot of time living in rat and snake-infested holes in the
ground known as bunkers. When we were not in the bunkers, we were
crawling through the jungle being shot at and shooting back at
little people wearing black pajamas. We must be honest and tell you
that the only thing we may have in common with you, is that we, too,
were drafted.
We noticed you were drafted number one in the WNBA draft a few years
ago. Since we were all drafted, we thought we might let you know
what it was like when we were drafted. Unlike you, most of us had no
college. The people of the United States drafted us. We consisted of
all colors, religions and personal beliefs. We had no choice of
which team we played for: Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines. We were
sent halfway around the world to fight and kill people we didn’t
know in a place we had never heard of. We were paid (we know you can
relate to this) $3.00 a day and required to work 24 hours a day if
needed. When we returned home, many or most of us were treated very
badly by our fellow Americans. We were spit on and hit by bottles
and rocks as the police stood by and watched. We did not complain,
we just continued on in life and made the best of it. We fought for
God, family, country and, of course, the Flag and the National
Anthem . . . a poem that was written by, of all people, a lawyer. He
wrote the poem as he watched bombs fall on and kill fellow
Americans. Ever since that night, our nation has played that little
poem before millions of social functions. For some people it’s
just a little song. For a Veteran it is a reminder of how many men
and women of all colors have given their lives, so the rest can have
the right to be free
We found in our research that you requested the National Anthem not
to be played at sporting events. We find it odd that now you are
requesting the citizens of the United States to pay for your release
from a jail in Russia. Yes, we the taxpayers are paying for all of
those diplomats working on your release. Our government told you,
and all fellow Americans in Russia, to leave Russia after the
invasion of the Ukraine. You play basketball in a country that is
known to treat Americans badly. You fly a great deal and must know,
by now, all of the rules about what one can bring into a country.
All of us that travel know the rules for entering a foreign country.
You are a guest and must go by the rules of the land. By your own
admission, you were attempting to bring an illegal substance into a
country that is known for its long prison sentences. You had to know
this because you are making a million dollars a year to play a game
and hold a college degree. At six feet nine inches tall, you know
that security officers are going to focus on you from the moment you
stand in the boarding pass line.
We also noticed that you are now saying you placed the drugs in your
luggage by accident. Please! That is something that an 18 year old
would say. We also found out that your net worth is somewhere around
$5 million bucks for playing a game. For old guys like us, living on
a fixed income, that’s a lot of money for just playing a game.
Don’t get us wrong; we are not against you. We all went and
fought, so all Americans can have the freedom to make their own
choices. We just hope that the next time you have to endure the
playing of that little poem, that you will pay close attention to
the “land of the free” part.
Donations from sympathizers, not taxpayer dollars, should be used to gain your release. I’m out dont ask me.
Wishing you the very best.
The bunker boys
