Before my enlistment, and during my first year in service, I was a gung-ho NeoCon and something of a gun nut. Couldn't wait to own all these bad ass rifles and pistols i always wanted, go overseas, kick ass and take names. Several years, and a few unpleasant visits to other countries later, i found myself sitting right smack in the center, equally disgusted of both poltiical parties, a desire of Isolationism, and i don't particularly care to own a sh**pot of guns anymore.
Remember that joke about
"Patton for president"? How i wish that were true.
