All of you veterans… and Hound… know this story.  Only the actors and venue change. 

I am driving to a pick-up golf game on Pensacola NAS.  The car is full of veterans from various services.  I know that one of them… the loudest… served three years in the Army and attained the rank of Spec 4 as a signal teletype operator.  He knows that I know this.  BUT, he runs his mouth anyway.  He informs everyone that his DD-214 doesn’t show his SPEC-OPS assignments.  At that point, every veteran in the car knows him for what he is.  Nobody stops him from blathering on.  I’m sure that he continues to destroy his credibility to this date.

…shredded paper in the wind.
