The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Mrs. BD: "How big?" BD: "One and a half tons." Mrs. BD: !!!! BD: "Yup, lotta pucker." Mrs. BD: !!!! BD: "If I'm not home for supper you're free to remarry. Ha-ha!" |

True story...My wife's uncle bleeds Marine Corps blue. Retired now, but so enjoyed his tour in Vietnam, he volunteered and went back for a second tour... Didn't have a desk job, either. Took care of unexploded ordnance and booby traps. Two tours, nary a scratch. Didn't get out of the service without a scratch, though. Was doing a demonstration for a bunch of recruits in San Diego and used a bad fuse on a breaching charge. Blew him, a door and frame, along with a few other materials over a slit trench full of awed recruits. Said he knew how Superman felt as he flew through the air looking at the upturned faces below. Spent two weeks in the base hospital while the docs kept pulling splinters and small pieces of hardware out of his legs and butt. We still pick at him about that... |
