Incident At The Shooting Range
Posted 11-14-2007 at 07:40 PM by Midas
My son and I were at the shooting range this evening, we were having a good time, shooting rifles and handguns. But a couple of booths down from us, there was an old man, he was your typical elderly man, he had short gray hair, was wearing a green boonie hat, and had on a pair of bifocals. There was nothing out of the ordinary about him, so we continued to shoot for probably close to an hour. All of a sudden, the old man comes over to our booth, at first i didn't know why, then he glanced at my son and asked "that boy gonna join the military?, he sure is good with that gun, he'd make a fine serviceman" I told the old man that he didn't have any plans to join. The old man took offense to this, he told my son "whats your problem, young man, is this country not good enough for you to die for?" I gave the man a stern look, and asked him what branch of the service he served in, he said that he never served, because he had to work on the farm. He then made the statement "kids these days don't know how good they got it, they sit around all damn day, and they expect the older folks to do all the work". He was obviously aiming these remarks at Chris (my boy). I told the old fart to take his remarks else where, because i didn't wanna hear it. He left the range shortly after. What I'm trying to get out of this, is that HYPOCRISY is destroying our country, the old man berated my son for not wanting to join the military, yet HE himself had never even stepped foot inside a recruiting office.
