Just sneakin' around....
95 y/o. Watches WAY too much FOX news. He's now afraid of a war and that my brothers and I will be drafted. He still looks at us like we're 20 years old. That's good, because he used to treat me like a 10 year old when I was 60.
"If there's a war, they're gonna want you guys!"
"Dad, what war? With who?"
"Them."
"Them who?"
"Them. China."
:sigh: "Dad, no one is going to war with China. If there is a war, it will be internal to the US, another Civil War."
"But what about..."
"No dad. There is no draft anymore. And no one wants us anyway."
"But you guys have talents they would want!"
:sigh: "Dad, (older brother) is 70 years old. I'm 66. (younger brother) is 61. No one wants us. For anything."
