Two of my favorite teachers during my school years were both retired military. Both were pilots, one during WWII and the other during the Korean War. One was an English teacher and the other a math teacher, but they would have made great history teachers. Those of us who had an interest in military things would listen in awe to their stories. They were both great instructors by the way. One student who I knew well and who was a perfect anus orifice was cutting up bad in class one day and said the wrong thing, Mr. Reese picked the kid up and put him against the wall. That was all it took, he didn't display anymore lack of respect for the rest of the semester. That was almost 40 years ago and sometimes I think a better time...
