"Since you brought it up Hank, what service have you ever performed for your country (other than the "Hank study" of course)?"
Would it matter to you if I was in the military or not? If I said I was, would you believe me? I am just a weak stupid @sshole that lies a lot, right? I am surprised that such a well educated war hero as you would even speak to me. I am honored. Now I can go to my grave knowing that I have been blessed by the presence of greatness.
How have I served my country? I've spent the last 10 years conducting research aimed at discovering cures for diseases like HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Influenza, and Human Papilloma Virus. If you, your family, or one of your war buddies should ever get seriously ill with one of these diseases and their Dr's successfully treat them with a new break through drug, you may be able to thank me and my colleagues for saving their lives. Currently, I am involved with some cutting edge research aimed at elucidating the signal transduction pathways that trigger insulin production. I work to SAVE lives. I don't brag about taking them in the name of some obscure political cause.
If that's your definition of an @sshole, then I am proud to fit it. Have you ever done anything that didn't involve destroying or killing that you can brag about? |
