LOL!!! What a kleptocracy!!!

Actually, I was too young for Vietnam and too old for the Gulf War.

My Grandfather got 3 purple heart in Iwojima.

My eldest uncle died in the Korean Conflict.

I hated the peace protestors of the 60's, they ruined everything with their LSD and Marijuana lead protests.

Just my $200 worth.

GPD out!!!
