Questionable at best. Frustrated writer telling anecdotal yarns.

[@jyellowhammer]

Why would you say such a thing?

[@davidyeo8731]

Comments have no consequences, say that to any service man and I guarantee you have a bad day.

[@Buce-ku9vx]

@@davidyeo8731 8% actual combat more than 7days. Fact. Bet you cash your ptsd checks for when you burned your pinky on the spoon the 3rd of every month tiger.
