re: #258 Anymouse
Hey, I kind of spent an entire career either floating on ‘em or fixing ‘em. Was indirectly involved in combat (that is, I was on the ship fixing stuff): Bosnia, Beirut evacuation, freedom of navigation in the Gulf of Sidra, and on shore (recruiting and in Spain) during the Persian Gulf War.
I know. But you don’t fetishize tools of war like Dark_Falcon does. I don’t see you being a pedant with rifle calibers and war ships. You’re just a regular guy who is a proud veteran working in local government.
