[@mikegadsden55]

I have a grand uncle, we call him Unle Raymond. He fought in the Vietnam war, and had survived an artillery strike on his own artillery installment. Watched his friends get blown to pieces. Seeing how hard it is for him, I kind of like these parodies. It's a way of showing how disturbing it really is that we condition kids into thinking war is this epic thing, just for them to be chewn through the system after joining the forces. Took us suing the VA just to get his cash for his disabilities. He had shrapnel to the hip, and a blown out ear drum due to working arty. Said all his documents burnt up in a fire... I think that was all lies... I just think the taxmen didn't want to pay their dues. They obviously had SOME back ups somewhere considering they found them after the threat of legal action...

I remember my father who’d been in World War 2 as a motorcycle despatch rider refused to play with my action man dolls with me. He just saw it as a military recruitment vehicle and he was soo right.
