I almost didn't reply, but I have a long walk ahead on the path to the place we
really live. Yeah, I was a Corps grunt, I've fired M-16's until you didn't have to
pull the trigger anymore, the chamber was so hot it fired itself. Which is why they
now put 3 round burst limiters on the weapon. Back in the day we could, as they
say, "rock and roll" full auto. I know what a grenade sounds like (It's not like in the
movies, there's no "boom", there's a sound like a million guitar strings breaking at
once, you're deaf for 10 minutes. It's indescribable until you've heard it. And if
you see it you're going to be digging little pieces of serratted steel wire out of
your skin for days, if (hopefully) nothing hits your eyes..
This dink was insulting me, questioning my credentials, which are bone fide,
government issue. Proveable, documented. He was calling me a liar. Yes, I sometimes
exagerate, yes, I'm melodramatic. But I don't lie flat out. The Zen thing would be
to just ignore the idiot, but the stick was there. I'm far from where we all are
going. It was foolish and I apologize to all except the asshole who questioned my
integerity..;-)
Love,
