Sgt. Davis, The Hunted, which would make a great low-budget pic, by the way. One of my favorites by Mr. L.

Well, we can argue if an active duty (what it was called when I was in the Army) soldier is a veteran or not. He’d been in what, something like a dozen years, glorified bank guard. Davis certainly fought a small war there in Israel those few days. He was certainly a veteran at the end, his bag of money in hand and end of service in sight.

I served six years, they call me a veteran though I saw no action and served during no wars (those who stand and wait also serve). Don’t seem right, but there it is.

“veteran |?vet?r?n; ?vetr?n|
noun
a person who has had long experience in a particular field
• a person who has served in the military : a veteran of two world wars.”

the point now is to end arguments that is
the political and military reality of the
moment factored over periods time
diverse and sequential consecutive
even tho we try to perfect the
moment in which we live.
as simple as that is
the way no other
knowledge is
required
only faith
in language
and love
