I didn't make quite that much when I was a General during the Korean war and later, Seargent Major during Vietnam and I got a pay raise for all my work as a Cammando during the Second Iraq war. Today I'm over here in Afganstan infiltrating the Afgani folks.
It reminds me of when I fought at Gettisburg and had my horse shot.
But seriously, As a Desert Storm vet, it pisses me off too.
