my grandfather came to the US (leaving germany as a jewish guy) and then as soon as he got the chance he was in the marines and went back to germany to commit righteous "war crimes", but he just loved killing nazis (men, women, whatever). for being 5'4" he was a tough little bastard and had a natural knack for rifles. he ruled, i wish i had a chance to talk to him more. his service portrait or whatever is scary because he looks exactly like me. his war photos were hilarious because he would take pics of dead germans in funny poses (arms around each other, cigarettes in their mouths, etc).

my dad joined the navy in ‘68 to avoid being drafted and spent four years as a plane mechanic at a training airfield in florida. lots of beer drinking and loving around with his friends on the beach. a smart move.

prefect posted:my dad joined the air force to avoid being drafted i can’t imagine having to worry about that poo poo. like, i remember there were draft rumors leading up to the invasion of iraq back in 2003. i was 23, and still in that window, but no one thought it was really gonna happen. seeing your peers get called up, or actually having it happen to yourself though? horrible. and all for a 100% bullshit war happening on the other side of the globe.
