When are you going to sign up?

Johnny Boy Herring claims he served as a combat engineer during our war
against Vietnam. I've asked him several times how many Vietnamese people
he killed with explosives or even his rifle, but as far as I recall, he
has never responded with the facts.

Harry, Engineers arn't combat troops, They build stuff like roads,
bridges, etc. not that doesn't mean they're not also trained in
fighting. Don't personally know, but with a bit of speculation, I'd
say John 'probably' didn't kill anybody.


I understand that, and I also understand they usually aren't
"engineers," as we think of that term in the construction industry.
Combat engineers also blow things up.

The question was rhetorical; I wasn't expecting a specific answer.
Herring's disdain for those who haven't had any breaks in life for
whatever reasons and his disdain for the children of those people made
me wonder whether he "learned" that while associated with military
actions that killed more than a million Southeast Asian peasants.
