Guilt trip much?

I’m a boomer, vintage 7/46. My wife finds me pretty useful. I don’t steal, I don’t lie, as a rule, and I’m bald and overweight so vanity’s right out. I do tend to get a little mouthy with liberal idiots, that I do admit.

I’m a Vietnam combat vet. No medals but also, no PTSD, either. I did my time, came home and picked up where I left off without whining. My company had a pension plan once but decided to end it, and 9-11 and the latest recession have left my 401K in ruins. My wife of 44 years and I are getting by as best we can in retirement and ask for no more than that the promises our government made to us be honored. And if the bastards think they’re going to grind us down in our old age without a fight, they will find out I’m no coward, either, because I fully intend to take a few of them with me.

Boomer Power!!

"Guilt trip much?"

Nope. Being a little more like our fathers and grandfathers than most of our drug-addicted peers, I don't "trip" on anything.
