Feel free to pick one of the humorous responses below (either one works):
1) "Isn't that precious!"
2) "Well, pilgrim, only after you eat the peanuts out of my shee-itt!"
(If you would prefer a more serious response, get back to me

I was speaking the truth, if a state or states attempted to leave the Union because they don’t like who was elected President in an election I would volunteer. Though there is some hyperbole there. I was up for Major prior to retiring and so I imagine if I was returned to active duty I would be promoted and put on a Battalion or Brigade staff so I would not be actually firing a weapon.
