clic pic for story![[Linked Image from static1.squarespace.com]](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/598a66006b8f5b013edc46c1/598a66a6f9a61e39d18ddec8/5e4f377b63a041579187c806/1582253967286/Dunford+Pete+tweet+2017+worked+directly+for.png) Smart people join the military to get benefits and to improve resume for particular jobs, public service being notable example. Frankly I see no problems here. Unlike most of the candidates this guy is actually intelligent and will have successful political career.

Back when military service was compulsory, I enlisted at 18 in 1962. Yup, joined the army for three years exactly for the reason outlined above. Never looked back. I was a company clerk in a couple different outfits in the US and in Europe. Lordy, what a ride!

Whiles stranded in the vast sargasso
Just for the time to passo
We started a spree, of buggery
On one another’s assho!

Edit!!
I learned this and many others while serving!

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
