@jon-nyc said in John Wayne's Inspiration:
How about you Jolly? What’s your service record?
Never served. In fact, never had to register, since I fall in the gap years. Wasn't looking forward to it, since guys just a few years older than me were enjoying their 13-month vacations in sunny Southeast Asia.
Now, does that make me a pussy?
