My father cut the ears off of the gooks he killed in Vietnam, and he eventually started keeping the ears in jars. A new guy showed up to join their group, and he gave him a couple of jars so he wouldn’t feel so different from everyone else. He said they also liked to take them up in helicopters, throw them out, and shoot them as they were falling. He don’t talk much about it, but get a couple of beers in him, and every once in awhile he loosens up.
It’s war... Awful and appalling shit happens. Stuff that shouldn’t really be talked about in wide circles on the home front.
They shot the ears?
I disagree. It should be talked about. It should be documented. And medals passed around.
Give people a really good dose of what it is they should expect from the politicians they vote in.
Start some kind of "police" action. Or any other kind of unwar war.
And then make some kind of misguided judgment on the result(s).
F*** that.
War wouldn’t be any fun without dead enemies.
