I know it is an old Irish proverb, but I'd be lying if I said I knew about it otherwise. It is probably one of my favorite movies. It resonates with me..... only I think of Anti-American $$%#$ (leftists) along with the drug dealers and mafia types.
In my experience, people who’ve served in the Military are much more kind and gracious than those who haven’t (like 100% of DU). People who haven’t served have a tendency to sound vicious but would probably be the first to run away crying. I’ve found a number of people who never served claiming to be ex-Military - go figure!
