ARMY DAYS XXVII

ARMY DREAMIN'

over the next 40 years after my army discharge i occasionally had bad dreams that i was drafted again.  i complained, wrote my congressman, and begrudgingly followed my orders.  lately though when i have had dreams of being drafted they seem so good.  i guess, youthful and vigorous is preferable to impending dotage.

if there is no war, army life is the softest touch possible.  no thought required.  hours are regular.  payday is always on time.  entertainment, sports, food, clothing, shelter, medical, and other stuff come with the job.  so you must deal with idiots but then any activity except being a hermit requires associating with annoying humanoids.
