Why should it when what you're saying is a fucking lie, Jon?

[jon-nyc]

I didn’t say he dodged the draft, I said he avoided service.

[Larry]

You can parse it however you want. Either way, it's still a fucking lie. And you well know it.

What is it with your heroes and pussying out of combat, Larry?

What a crock.

What year were you packing a rifle for a living?

[jon-nyc]

I don’t think I’m one of Larry’s heroes. At least not that he’ll admit to.

[jon-nyc]

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?

BTW, 16,000,000 guys served in WW2. 10,000,000 were drafted.

I like you just fine, Jon. Just don't piss down my leg and tell me it's raining.

Telling jon not to gaslight people is like telling Ax not to soar high above the Serengeti with a golden trophy strapped to his back, hunting for plump, juicy bunnies. Some people are just born to do certain things.
