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.


Well, I'd have to disagree about the first sentence. They're called Combat Engineers for a reason.
But, I'm not going to delve into specifics.

You know you live in a Country run by idiots if...

...hard work and success are rewarded with higher taxes
and government intrusion, while slothful, lazy
behavior is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks,
Medicaid, subsidized housing, and free cell phones.


Well yes, John. I didn't say you didn't blow stuff up.

but "Combat" [usually] isn't in the picture that is unless the orders
are specified. At least that's what I gather.
