Oooooh, pet peeve.Sounds like an attitude of “I had other priorities” to me. But let’s face it, no military, self-respecting or not, would ever take Burl or Jerry, for any number or reasons.I always manage to ask the Jerrys of the world what it was that they did to advance the common good and most times the answer I get is a splutter and a plea that making a lot of money in the oil business was an overwhelming benefit to us all.They will look the other way when encountering a shattered Vietnam vet who has lived on the street since 1975, dismissing him as just a drunk. I once mentioned Matthew 25:31-46—“Lord, when did we see you hungry…?”— to one particularly righteous oaf and have never heard from him since. Small loss. Chicken hawk SOB.
