i've had the dubious privilege of meeting the man in person (he's a "friend" of a friend). he is a bit of an asshat: when i first met him, he told us he was back from a deployment. eventually conversation revealed that meant he was back from basic training and AIT for the national guard, where...

i know it's cruel, but knowing that i helped contribute to this gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. also this:

ok, this guy has been to basic AND AIT, not to mention FIVE FREAKIN YEARS of "Private Security" experience. when he talks, you know people listen.

anti-military sentiment typically comes from 'i don't think killing is good, so it must be unnecessary in the natural order of things. we should stop paying people to kill.' i find it amusing that having the luxury of that attitude is predicated on having a military to protect you in the...

oops! looks like i was taken too literally on this one.

Every time i find a new gun that i 'need' (and there's always 'just one more, and then i won't buy another for a while'), my wife looks into it, and says 'that looks nice. let's get one.' how do i get my wife to be the voice of reason and say 'no we can't eat beans and rice for a month so...
