God Bless War
Dear Holmes,
I don’t know whether you remember Halloween of ’83, but things were scary where I was. Only days after terrorists had attacked the Marine barracks in Lebanon, Uncle Sam was striking back where it would really count: in Grenada. Scoff if you want, but we in the 82nd Airborne were sweating in our Kevlar helmets, parachuting onto the runway of the Point Salines airport after deciding the water was too brisk for a beach landing. It seems hard to believe, but none of us even thought we might be among the nineteen boys who weren’t going to make it home. Holmes, you pussy, I hope you never know how naked and helpless a man can feel walking around with just an M16A1 5.56mm assault rifle and an M203 40mm grenade launcher. God help me, it still brings me back every time I hear sniper fire.

That's Not Funny!
Let's see how fetching Rrhain's leer is when he's got his foot in his mouth. I guess only the rest of us love men in uniform. C'est la vie!

Now I Get It!
Rrhain,
My parody of a macho shell-shocked ultrapatriot is nowhere near as convincing as your parody of an overbearing humorless PC jerk. You must be a hell of an actor.

Note to Master Thespian
I know, I know, first you were just acting like someone who didn't get the joke. Then you were just acting like someone who's got no sense of humor. Now you're acting like someone who doesn't know the jokes's over.
