I am not worried about it. In fact i can understand it. As Maxx said that stuff was drilled into them from day one in the military. He might even have been an advisor to the North Vetnamese back in the day. We were told that too. the Chicom weaponry we fought against, the support had to come from somewhere. maybe he thought I was going to be nasty to him for it. Who knows. His wife showed me pictures of when they were young officers and he looked like your typical young Lieutenant dressed in his uniform. But strangely enough, now that I think on it, no pictures from that time on. Just old pictures. One of her parents, none of his. I bet he has an interesting story. Maybe someday. Maybe not. Different cultures, different prejudices. My wife's family all hate the Japanese. Because of WWII. A lot of cousins died at the hands of the Japanese. Whole parts of the family wiped out. There was a Japanese BBQ place I liked to go to and my wife was always iffy about it. Once I heard the story of the Japanese and her family, I understood and dont even talk about going there.
Today is the last day for New Years fireworks. Thank God. At 10 am it started here and as of noon has not stopped. Every night since the 13th, fireworks are going off. I wonder if they take the ammo from the army at this time of year, as who would know that a revolution was started. hehe I know there are cannon as I clearly remember what their sound was. Just waiting for my wife to come home for lunch, she has to work today. Later
