9) I once told my 8th grade son I was headed up to Canada for a few days to work on a project with the Canadian Air Force. I kid you not, he looked at me and said "Canada has a military?" To be fair, James Doohan (Scotty in Star Trek) was in the second wave on Juno beach with the Canadian Infantry and got hit by six rounds of friendly fire that night. I guess shit happens in those situations.
Men like Doohan are few and far between now. Back then, they were the rule, and not the exception. Brave men who knew what it meant to give their all for the greater good. I pray that we have enough left like that left today.
Doesn't it make you think that he is one fine individual? Because he was. Anybody willing to hit that beach was. If you agree with me so far then agree to this - We Need to be that Person in the future. Yes You. It is still in our DNA.
#20, the only absolute hazing and harassment you get is crapping in the woods with your team, guaranteed. Miss it but don’t miss it if you know what I mean
There was an SF medic in my platoon in Ranger School. He rigged up a sit down toilet with pine branches, some 550 cord and a couple of ponchos. After a couple of weeks of crapping in an open slit trench, it was like paradise.
#9: Fake picture! Trudeau makes sure the Canadian Navy isn't issued any ammo, unless the Americans provide some for them. #20: Then remembering you forgot something important, and end up using the pinecones.

DeleteHe already said it was friendly fire.
DeleteHe didn't say he was shot by some asshole from The Bronx.
I didn't know that about Scottie.
