    My dad would agree, his father would agree, his father would agree. Probably all the way back to the battle of Culloden. Actually, all the way back to Caesar’s Gallic Wars. A great video, Boss.

    Thanks for posting. Nobody on Ricochet can make a reader laugh like Boss Mongo. Nobody can make you cry like Boss Mongo.

    And nobody can make you run miles in full battle gear with your #$%^&* rifle held over your head like he can either.

    Yeah, but.  I’m s’posed to be writing a whole different post right now, and saw this and got all weepy.

    Somebody once asked me if I cried watching Spielberg’s Schindler’s List. I said, “Are you kidding? I even cried during Spielberg’s An American Tail.”

    It was The Adventures of Tintin that got to me.

    Yes.

    I actually researched joining a Guard or Reserve unit, just because (can’t believe) I miss that schtuff.

    DoD be like, “Yeah. No.”

    Apparently once you retire, you’re done.  D-U-N. Dun.

    Just finished showing the vid in the OP with eldest daughter (kid 2 of 4).  It reminded her of growing up with a plethora of uncles.  The line about bad ankles, knees and destroyed back, waiting in line at the VA had her laughing and punching my shoulder.

    I love Mat Best’s stuff.  My favorite line from an amputee:  “The Air Force offered me Para Rescue but the Rangers offer me Paralympics.  Rangers!”
