I love it when they defend him. Honestly I think he’s canonically at the very least 100. He looks that good and can still formulate somewhat coherent sentences. He also served in Vietnam so also another reason to respect him a little bit. Anyone else in his position would either just mumble gibberish the whole or literally fall down dead.

[@Research0digo]

100 - Vietnam vet?

[@HypnoSwag]

​​@@Research0digo I think they mean either the Korean War or WW2. My guess is WW2 from the banzai reference he makes to an Asian in another skit.
