The mobster show is the perfect place to rant on about how pathetic people who join the military are.
Well of course they aren’t military families.
They are mobsters. They help in their own ways. Tony was assisting in the war on terror, just like his grandfather watched the docks in Brooklyn in WW2. For his son to go in the army and get his legs blown off must be a horrific thought for him, especially when he can take over the family biz and get wacked instead.
