One thought on “Out of Service”
When we had just started dating, my eventual fiance and wife of 43 (and counting) years had me meet her parents. I wasn’t nervous. No, not a bit. One meets “Col. USAF (Ret.)” tier folks all the time, right?
Right?
Then “The Colonel” found out I was an NRA member. He calmly told me that possession of firearms should limited to military, police, and retired military of rank O6 and above. What a coincidence! A “Full Bird” just happens to be an O6!
Back in the day, when an “assault weapon” was a French & Indian War trophy Charleville or captured Brown Bess, British enlisted men faced flogging if they fired their weapon without a direct order from an officer and a gentleman. The main focus of the inquest on the loyalist side after Lexington was to determine who broke fire discipline and see to it that they became proper examples. Royal Army officers were appalled by the colonial practice of deliberately targeting Royal Army officers. It was well known that those who enlisted in His Majesty’s army or were pressed into his Royal Navy were barely above savagery and incapable of thinking for themselves. Who would guide them if their officers were shot?
Two hundred and fifty odd years later, and Tories really haven’t changed all that much.
All veterans, having seen combat or not, are presumed by some to be suffering from PTSD and therefore mental defectives prohibited by GCA68 from ever possessing another firearm.

And thank you for your service, chump!
