That's something proud to tell your grandkids..."Yeah, I deafened myself so I wouldn't have
to go in the military". As an adult, unless you were Frank Zappa who was a filthy bastid as it is,
you would probably regret it. Look at how bad the public and press hits politicians when their
military history comes up and shows that they wimped out somehow from duty by running to Canada,
going off to college at Oxford or getting assigned to a non-combat role in the National Guard.
Americans love to fight, it's in their blood was paraphrased from the original comments from General George
S. Patton. As American society 'numbs' itself into the 'leave me alone, I won't be offended' role; people soon
forget why and how America was started; every man and woman performing their duty and service to make
this country great, to keep it safe and to pass this concept to their following generations.
My how times have changed in the last half century. I remember footage in the 40's of all the men (famous and unfamous)
rushing to the recruiter office to sign up for their country. All the big time actors signing up to fight. Now you couldn't find
a single actor, aside from Bruce Willis, Rob Lowe, Arnie and Mel Gibson who would speak kindly of our military. The 60's
were such a cancer on our country. A malignant tumor which is still spreading and shutting down the morals of the
greatest gdamned country in the world.
