    A few years from now there’s this dialog at the salad bar of a family restaurant…

    A Jarhead with a neck wider than his head: “I saw you get the veteran discount. Where did you serve, buddy?”

    Scared - “I served.”

    “Where.” It’s a demand.

    Shaky - “You know… In the war.”

    “What war.”

    “You know the one.”

    “No, I don’t know ‘the one’. Is this a case of stolen valor? What war.”

    “The N-Word War…”

      I find it very hard to believe that Americans are still going to be eating salads a few years from now.
