Don't get me started. I still say:
Donkey D**K, Shammer/Shamming, John Wayne/P-38, where's your "Cover". I could go on and on. I call people "airborne", "Chairborne Ranger", etc. Civilian's look at me like I'm crazy (see what I mean? I just said "civilian's"). Been out for years and still brain washed
I'll stop now. I'm getting off the subject.
Waynegro1, OUT!!
