no one makes fun of us, mainly because Major is about 6'5" and ripped, and he looks like he could kill. Also, the gunny sgt we had would talk in the Auditorium on Veterans day and talk about his war experiences. One time he told us about the first person he killed in Vietnam, which was a 15 year old sniper and he also said that it had felt good killing him because he had saved some of his men. Well, some of those kids who don't care about the military were talking during this, so the gunny said "you know, sometimes i think it would feel good to kill another one, especially those disrespectful SOB's who talk while im giving a speech!!!"
Let's just say those kids shut up real fast.
But, we get those a holes who salute us when we're marching in formation while in uniform and start laughing because they think it's funny as hell.
