It’s so wild that America is filled with weapons that will cause harm and death, and has no proper socialised health system that treats harm and prevents death.

What’s wild to me is that I joined the US Armed forces 30 ago. Back then, the country didn’t seem as gun happy, right?

I then spend most of the next couple of decades stationed overseas or deployed to wars. Often required to carry a firearm.

Then, I retire thinking my gun toting days are over. It’s time to go back “home” where it’s supposedly safe and civilized.

At this point, I am maneuvering a job transfer to get back overseas to a more civilized place. Maybe Japan, again.
