We'll be sure to tell my uncle who served two tours in Vietnam that the next time we visit him in the Alzheimer's Wing of his nursing home, where he's been for awhile now. In only his mid-sixties. Possibly Agent Orange related. But nothing, absolutely nothing, compared to the horrors rMoney endured lounging around in Paris. I mean, my uncle was getting his ass shot at every day in neck-high grass and watching friends get blown up or shot up right next to him, but I'm sure he'd much rather have been doing that than enduring suffering walking around the streets and sites of Paris all day. And he and his working-class buddies took Willard's trust fund baby Willard's place precisely because they didn't want to suffer what he had to endure.
