LOL! When I was little my ma bought me a Union soldier uniform and of course I identified with the Union in every Civil War movie I saw.
When I was just a little older I watched on TV as paratroopers escorted black kids into Little Rock HS.
A few years after that I thought if I do enlist, paratroopers!
'Cause jumping out of planes first, bloused trousers over jump boots 2nd and 3rd, the very real prospect of driving some cold Yankee steel up some screaming cracker's ass was beginning to appeal to me.
A few years after that it was unclear to me if I could give my soul to Jesus, but it was made very clear to me that my ass belonged to the Corps.
