Or as one old VN vet said on FR:
"At least this time we won't have to go 6,000 miles to the war. We'll be able to walk there."
Hope I don't need a walker to get there.
We old farts can use the term "old" amongst ourselves, but you youngsters should show some damned respect and use the term - "experienced"..
And yes, damn it - anyone under 55 is a youngster...
Don't ignore us in the local campaign to come...we can trump youth and vigor, with our acquired viciousness, cruelty and lack of compassion.....
