Friday Humor Time
The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one-by-one began to tell their stories. "Johnny, do you have a story to share?", the teacher asked. "Yes ma'am," Johnny replied. "My daddy told me a story about my Aunt Nancy. AUNT NANCY
"She was a pilot in Afghanistan and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a small flask of whiskey, a pistol, and a survival knife. She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break, and then her parachute landed right in the middle of 20 enemy troops.
She shot 15 of them with the gun until she ran out of bullets, killed 4 more with the knife till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Al Qaeda with her bare hands."
"Good heavens," cried the horrified teacher. "What kind of moral did your daddy give you from this horrible story?"
"Stay the hell away from Aunt Nancy when she's drinking."
A tip O' The GM Derby 
to my good friend Tom Farnie
Actually, I thought the moral would be...
Don't get between Aunt Nancy and her next drink!

Does anyone recall the old B&W movie: "White Feather(s)?
My point? A goodly portion of our populace of the right ages....do not think it an obligation to serve in their countries' armed forces.
A goodly number of their elders (parents, relatives, etc.)...do not think it an obligation for the youth to serve.
There are too few "stepping up to the plate." Shame.
Hurrah for Aunt Nancy and those like her.
