Is that you’re only retort?
I wasn’t really retorting anything. It’s just weird how a dude who was never in the military is accusing dudes theoretically of “cowarding like a bunch of weaklings” when “**** hits the fan”. What are you going to be doing stateside? Paying your taxes and hanging out where there’s not war and watching it go down on TV? Lmao.
I thank your dad for his Korea service (my granddad was in the USMC as in infantry officer. The Frozen Chosin) I’m glad his dream of his son going to college came true. Not being sarcastic. We stand on the shoulders of giants.
