i asked him “did you kill anyone”?
His answer still sticks with me..
“I don’t know… maybe”
Ross was on a fifty Cal machine gun, truck mounted, infantry, he told me this story of being in Afghanistan , the middle of the night, being called out to some outpost,,
“we just open’d fire”
You might have killed someone,Ross. I love you and I love who you are as a person, but I think you killed someone.
None of that shows,
It clearly doesn’t fuck with him at all.. he was in the army, and he served.
All the years I’ve known this guy,,,,, one story, one story of gravity.. The night he manned the fifty-cal..
He probably killed someone, maybe a few people,,, but,,,, I know this guy, I’ve drank with this guy many times,, he’s not a bad man… quite the opposite,,, he’s a teacher,, he is the reason I know what I know and I make the money I make,, he loves his three children,,,,
Ross definitely killed another human, in war-time. It bothers him zero….
Joe biden bothers him,, the soap-opera bothers him,,,,, killing apparently does not.
Opening fire on insurgents with superior firepower does not,, I like hearing real stories,, I wish I was skilled enough to write them down..
ross is a “real mother-fucker” good guy.
also a murderer, but kind, also enthusiastic to teach,,,,,good guy.
