muhwahaha Vhy yes I have!


A old mentor of mine served in the Korean War and Vietnam.

He was a Sergent First Class. He taught me an important key to life...

Humor... no matter what... have some humor.

Even in the darkest times, even in war.. learn to laugh.

He told me a tale of his squad being surrounded by the Vietcong and engaged in heavy fire. One of his men a private ran out of ammo and crawled his way to my friend. The private was crying and asked what should he do? He had no more ammo and was scared he would die.

My friend, the Sergeant told him

"Stand up, Make a fist and hold your fist towards the enemy. Now stick up your thump and stick out your pointer finger as if your hand were a gun and go "pow pow" maybe they will take the hint and die"

The young soldier was baffled.

The sergeant slapped the privates helmet...

"Use your fucking sidearm"
