Two service vet here, and I agree wholeheartedly. No good soldier (sailor, marine, airman) actually wants a war. Especially not after actually going there and seeing the elephant.

They could issue that shit to every dog in Florida, and the gators won't care. Why do people insist on walking their muttskis within lunging distance of the water, anyways?

Just making sure people know. I loved the trivia of his "Mail Call" show, but the man was an asshole.

I understand. They are, both, childish.
