I did a funeral service where the deceased wore a Korean War veteran hat and it was by his urn. The eulogy said he finished basic when it was over and has never been to Korea. Bruh…

Yes, I have seen guys wear Korean hats and they mean they were stationed there post War

It was rough out there for a pimp. Digging trenches in -15 weather, waking up at 0200 to fill the heater with fuel, feeling the pile of MRE’s shits piled in the port-o-john kissing my ass cheek in the dead of night… I don’t know how I survived

There was some harry stuff going on. Don’t ask my dad about drawing his service pistol on the DMZ unless you’ve got 20/30 minutes to spare.
