<<Often when I see an old guy, I will ask them what branch of the service they were in and thank them. There are too many wimps today.>>

I have coffee with a guy who was on Iwo Jima. He lost two brothers earlier in the war so he signed up at 16. When he says his boat was slow getting there and there weren't many Japanesse left to kill he has a tear in his eye. Then he gets happy about fighting in Korea.

Kids today too often sign up to buy a new car and get a college education. I gotta go fight? No fawlking way.
