So I'm at the Post Office today dropping off a couple packages this morning. A woman and her baby are waiting in line behind me and someone comes in the door. He says to the woman, "What a nice little baby. Hope you don't raise 'em to join the military, what a waste of life". Now I've got "Veteran" plates on my car, a combat infantry decal on my windshield, and I'm wearing OD green shorts and my digi-camo NRA hat. What were the chances he was referencing me? Now I don't typically like to coin myself as a target, but I turned around and saw this hunched over old man. I had a scowl on my face and wanted to say something so bad in regard to his comment, but held my tongue and thought about what mom used to say to me, "respect your elders" and "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". When I went outside, I took a quick peek at the other vehicles(there weren't many) to see if there were any other vet plates about...none. I later told my wife the story when she came home from work(who also happens to be a veteran) and the first thing she said was, "why would he say that? were you wearing your camo's?". I don't know what I'm trying to get at, maybe liberals suck, liberalism has been around since the dawn of time, some people just can't hack the military or some people just have a blatant disregard for those that serve. Bah, in a nutshell the guy was an a**h*** and if I were his age, I'd maybe wrecked him with my cane or ran him over with my walker. Ok, I'm done ranting now, have a good one!
