Something cut short was his time in service, seems the Corps parted ways with him after only 14 months, and sent the young E-1 packing in the middle of a war which he never even attended. They don't do that for no reason, you have to work hard at being a total shithead to get booted in your first enlistment, especially at 2d MARDIV during that time. I had a few I tried to get rid of then but the CG shot us down for anything less than hard drug abuse, felonies, or perpetual fat bodies.
But hey, the homeless "vet" has a third of a mil now, all while perpetuating the misconception that anyone who is a veteran is nice enough to give you their last $20, but incapable of caring for themselves.
