I did my bit for the cold war.

I was a member of a Marine Detachment aboard Navy ships for my first tour. Which leads to a funny story.

In damn near every port there was at least one soviet-paid local who would buy servicemen drinks and try to get them to talk about their jobs. I got totally wasted on their dime, while feeding them total bull---t. Once I told one of these idiots that I was the ships hangman! He ate it up and bought me more drinks.

I wonder what his paymaster had to say when he made his report. :)
