13. The irony is that Ermey, by his own admission, comes from a family of Democrats

I read an interview in an old gun magazine where Ermey said he and his family parted political company over Vietnam. As a Marine, he spent 14 months in Vietnam and two tours of duty on Okinawa until his injuries finally caught up with him, resulting in a medical discharge. But he's been a political conservative for as long as I can remember, which should make Thanksgiving dinners at home somewhat interesting.
