re: #26 Shiplord Kirel: From behind wingnut lines

Kissinger’s policy decisions and advice to Nixon very nearly got me killed, personally, for real. Many thousands of others, possibly millions, were not so fortunate. I can still smell the dead outside An Loc and on the road from Quang Tri.
Yeah, I volunteered and all but the war should have ended years before I got to Vietnam.
I am elated that I have outlived the mass murdering son of a bitch.

I, for one, am grateful that the motherfucker failed in your case & even more elated that you survived him. From “A Civil Campaign” by Lois McMasters Bujold:

Your honor is intact; you outlived the bastard.

This old sergeant salutes you, sir.
