I was just thinking you and my Father would have gotten along great.

He was a combat veteran of WWII. For some reason he hated two groups. MPs and Airborne. I have no idea why tho he did once say that Airborne were trained to fight their own people.

I knew better than that but never argued with him.

I salute your Father, he’s an American hero. What an amazing generation of men.

Soldiers don’t like MPs because MPs reel them in when when they’re drunk or AWOL, and they don’t like Airborne because they think it’s an abomination to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft.

I can’t say I disagree, but somebody had to jump into Normandy, and that somebody had to use parachutes.
