Glad to see that your eyes are open.

As for “battlefield survivability at my age,” take heart - Samuel Whittemore of Massachusetts was 78 when he took on and killed 3 Redcoats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Whittemore

Here’s a somewhat more, uh, colorful description: http://www.badassoftheweek.com/whittemore.html

As long as there is one breath left in my body, I will resist a tyranny in this nation by any means necessary.

“take heart - Samuel Whittemore of Massachusetts was 78 when he took on and killed 3 Redcoats”

Thanks for the encouragement. I will not, however, presume to compare myself to the hero Samuel Whittemore. Perhaps I can be useful to cover a withdrawal or draw fire.
