Vietnam Veteran

I ran into a man whom I admired immediately yesterday

I was getting a haircut at the Great Clips next to the Twin Peaks I like to frequent for my Friday off work routine. It wasn’t my Friday off. It was Veteran’s Day! Free haircuts. Free cheeseburgers. No free beer. Beer isn’t free. At least, right now, but when all us “lefties” take over, everything will be free and only the strongest men will be the ones to pay for everything! The men that we’re riding the backs of right now! Anyway. That’s another story about imagined things that don’t come true.

We’re here to talk about imagined things that do come true.

This man spoke about his life. Telling stories of medals. He has a purple heart. How that day was the worst in his life. He spoke of fighting nazis.

Ok. Is there anything going on today that resembles what was happening then? I asked.

Well, I see the violence from the left!

No other violence?

Not really, I didn’t know what I was going to do if that black woman was elected.

Ok, sir, I believe you have a lot of truth. (sarcasm) I appreciate you. I’ll leave you alone.

I just wanted to get away from him at that moment. Shit! What the hell is wrong with these people!?

And I walked away. Flabbergasted.

I met up with him again in Great Clips. We talked some more. I asked if the attack on the Capitol was violence that he recognized. January 6th???

They didn’t attack the Capitol. He said.

Ok. Sir, if we can’t agree on things that we both see with our own eyes. The evidence is clearly an attack.

I left at that. Going to hide in a hole for a while.
