If y'all had fought

["swan" <swan@haysco.net>]

.... the Gooks as hard as some of y'all are fighting each other the rest of
could have gone on permanent R&R.

    This reminds me how my old buddy would start a fight with 1st Cav
troopers when we were in GHQ in Tokyo.
   After having a few of those big Ashai beers he would walk up to one of
them and ask, "Did I hear you call my buddy a SOB?"
   Of course, the guy would stammer and deny it. My buddy would snarl, "Are
you calling me a liar?" Then the fists would begin to fly. Needless to say,
some of them would see my GHQ patch and jump on me too.
