Living in the Present
You sit right there sonny and let granddad tell ya what it was like in them thar olden days. Yup, us kids, we never got nothin handed to us. No siree. In fact, Paw was always at the Pentagon and Maw, well, she would always stay late at the country club. You see, she and the tennis pro were … but that’s another story.
What you came to hear was intractable views on war as seen through the myopic lenses of a 72 year old Vietnam Era Fighter Pilot, POW and Genuiiine War Hero. War Is hell and I love, no, no, I hate the smell of Napalm in the morning. When you’re sittin in the cockpit of an A-4E Skyhawk at 40,000 feet, things can get pretty dicey let me tell you, especially when blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
This is the 21st century not the middle of the 20th.
The Vietnam conflict ended 33 years ago … It’s time to move on old timer.
