[Unrepentant VN Vet]

All true.

..except for the part about hating.

I always taught that was to be avoided because it screwed up both your concentration and your aim.

(...don’t like to waste the ordnance and DEFINITELY dislike seeing the bird go into the dirt/water because of the break in concentration.)

Besides, got my flock of kids/grandkids to watch over (plus, of course, Grandma).

I’m still lookin’ at the flowers instead of the roots, The Oath is still in effect and if I’m the last damn one left standing, that’s just the way it’s going to have to be.

I hope Jesus takes this old sinner some day, but in the meantime...well, a Corpsman told me after one of my misadventures that I must just be too dumb to stay out of trouble and too mean and ugly to die.

[Alas Babylon!]

Thanks! You brightened me up some! :-)
