Being a SNAG (Sensitive New Age Guy), I sometimes find myself tearing up when I see, hear about or read about some outrage that is making the news cycle. However, being a cynic, I most times shake my head and quote that oft times repeated response from the troops during Viet Nam; "Fuck it. Don't mean a thing." While in reality it means everything. We were tough guys.
Someone once asked me if I had learned anything from going to war so many times.
My reply:
Yes, I learned how to cry.
