Ron, I really appreciate the article on Drafting Old Men.

Us old guys really have the sick mindset to get the job done (or aleast I do).

We were the little kids back in 1945 that called all those bad guys names based on their respective place of birth and what they looked like, and were very proud to do so.

We were happy to burn ants with a homemade flame throwers using a 'bug sprayer and gasolene". We could shoot birds with a BB gun or what ever we could devise and celebrate with a good kill.
We thought nothing of riiping off some rich kids bike to use as parts for our own bikes. We also were resourceful, we knew where everything and everybody's stuff was kept so when we needed supplies for project...they could be appropriated in good order(construction sites were the best).

We weren't heartless, we were just resourceful little punks and were proud of it..because we had nothing and didn't expect anything from anybody.
Ya, we all grew up, got jobs raised a family and now our bodys are just falling apart..So we would be good at doing those ugly tasks like eliminating the new bad guys while serving in the military.....that is if they could get us to do anything other than BS.
