I have a friend that I knew several years ago from the conservitory. He was from an upper middle class family and was fortunate enought to never have had to suffer or experience any hardship apart from possibly the loss of a pet. At the time I thought he was kind of a pampered "Bob and Judy" knob and a hippy, he used to say things like he would never cut his hair or work for a defense contractor. I thought he was idealistic and fortunate bcause Mummy and Daddy was there as a safetynet.
I was on my facebook account today and noticed that he had made some sort of comment about how he made pancakes (not the type I write about) for Babbary Coast Wars and the War of 1812, and then he continued to go and on about the various wars of the 19th Century and make light of this holiday. As some of you know, I'm a 12 year vet, and while I don't look like what one would typically imagine a vet to look like or think like, I am one none the less. Nonetheless, I got a bit perturbed at his comment anyway. I find it ironic how anyone who has never done anything to help anyone (that I can see - or wasn't told by Bono to do so), has the gall to sit back and make light of those who have volunteered for whatever reason to put on a uniform and defend our nation. I think how I've been trying to get in touch with this person to assist me on a project but instead I was constantly treated as though I was a child, while at the same time I see him nicking some of my material. Your arrogance is no doubt an asset to you SR, as it enables you to feel as though you have an elevated sense of entitlement to lambast that which you can't understand while you freely steal from others gift's and claim it as your own. By the way, Exsquiste Corpse nice title, Kaufman would have loved it. Not pretensious art cow shite at all.
Those of who have served didn't do so for your punchline, but I don't expect you to realize that.
