30. Oh, I can relate. Not just like you because I never served

And would never dream of wearing anything Army on my body.

But I’m a 5’11 white guy in the summer when I wear sandals, cargo shorts, and fishing tee-shirts. In cooler months I’m over 6 foot tall in my boots and dungarees!

I have a short hair cut, normally wear a cap and just just look like a republican. Down to the pick up I drive

It’s always in breweries when they start up I just turn to them and tell them I’m a Social Democrat. They shut up and leave.

Now this only happened a couple of times. Generally most people don’t talk politics to stir up trouble in breweries. They are not bars.
