The only reason for such a damning remark that is that you can't possibly imagine that anyone else could possibly be as big a bad ass has your dad.
ahhh I’m a Vietnam Era veteran. Time out. Do a bit of research on the name(s) “Oscar P. Austin” and the guy he died trying to save was “Gary Raymond Miracle”.
You see, “Time Out” doesn’t work in war. Only in boot camp.

My niece Tiffany Turner left Sarajevo and wound up in Iraq driving what she called “A big fat slow target”. She drove a fuel tanker. Tif is a “First Responder” and is credited with saving at least one life under fire when the Hummer in the lead of her convoy was hit by an IED. Tiffany was under orders not to stop the tanker for ANY REASON which would make it a sitting target. She was driving and switched placed while moving with her rider as she grabbed the first aid kit and jumped from the moving truck. She pulled people from the Hummer and rendered aid until a medical help arrived.
Time out didn’t work for her as she continued to be fired upon.
Her husband is a Marine in the mountains of Afghanistan and he hunts bad guys. My son-in law is on a Navy ship somewhere close enough to provide air support for them.
We did our part. We did what we were told to do, went where we were told to go when told to do it.
