My brother served in the Marines, Viet Nam, three years. He never talked much about his experiences. It could not have been good. My cousin served in the Army in Nam, he too, could have been injured or captured, instead he received two Purple Hearts. He never, never talked about it, he just drank himself to death to kill the emotional pain

FUCK TRUMP. He would have pissed and shit himself the first time a drill sargent yelled "Line Up"
