My mom and dad worked in a USA factory that made Red Army overcoats. The great War was great for our industry. Maybe we can have another? s/ s/ s/
“The great War was great for our industry.”
My pathological older sister once made a remark somewhat similar to this at the dinner table about Vietnam and all the money that was being made on the war and how it wasn’t such a bad thing if it’s going to drive industry.
I was sitting there with a draft card in my wallet, 18 yoa, and my number was called up I had two years before draft... I f****** blew up right there and I have rarely talked to that psycho b**** since.
The draft ended, my status changed from Boomer to BoomerII, I enlisted, finished a degree, got out and started my career leveraging my veterans preference.
