"Kids, let this be a lesson to you: DON'T DRINK AND POST, or you'll end up like Uncle DB there."

Meh, I'd been arguing all day with a jackass ex-buddy who has never left the Maryland suburbs about the reasons white boys join the service.

I used to fight, semi-pro, and I wasn't terribly good but I could take a lot of punishment. The first time I got seriously staggered I realized how stupid it was to give yourself brain damage just for money(Not very much of it), and that no matter how 'tough' you are, there's always someone tougher, someone that can hit harder, and sooner or later the odds WILL catch up to you.

There's no shame in it. You learn a thousand times more through failure than you do through success. As long as you survive the experience.

Note: Never post when you are half-drunk and feeling defensive.

Heh. Sure, no problem. I must admit, it DID seem a bit… off character… by your standards.

Hey Didact, could you delete that last message? It took me rereading it to notice how pathetic it was.
