LOL! I have served more years in uniform than you did. What a fool.

It's not how long you served. It is what you did while serving. Tell us
about
your 20 years behind a desk in Ohio.

Art, Kevin Brooks is often irritating but still well worth listening to.
It's not his fault that he wasn't sent to a war while he was serving; I
had the same problem and was quite glad of it. Willing to go if ordered,
but my mother raised no fools.

He's got a good and varied depth of experience: I can't confirm "he was
in location X with unit Y at time Z" but I _can_ confirm that he knows
what he's talking about on a good range of subjects. That's one reason
he and I argue a lot: we both know what we're talking about, we just see
it from different angles.




(Kevin, cut Art some slack. He's old, grumpy and often arrogant, but
also well worth listening to on the areas he knows. Or else put him in a
killfile and ignore him.)
