As he continued to speak my "weirdo/BS" inner alarm began to sound loud and clear and all I could think about was getting this guy out of my car as fast as possible. I dropped him, at his request, at the local Target store. As I was driving away I was thinking that I can't confirm or deny a thing this guy said. I've never been to Vietnam and all I remembered about Bad Tolz was that the barracks floor was spit shinned with boot polish. I have the utmost respect for the SF soldier and I want to afford that respect where it's due. In your collective opinions, what is the best way to manage this situation?
How was the BJ?
