You're right, I was looking in admiration, but I guess my stare lingered a bit too long for his liking. You're right, it was 1972, and many people, especially a bunch here in left-wing looney land, would look at Marines with disgust back in those days. But, while I did not choose the Marines, I did join the Army at age 17, and proudly served.
