I swear! There were fucking MAGAts in the 70s that never spent a fucking second in uniform, but they would regale you with stories of being spit on by hippies.

Kind of like, if you asked who saw Mickey Mantles homer that left the stadium, there would have been 20,000,000 people at the house that Ruth built.

Except for me...I was really there
