May have been a cpl decades ago. I wouldn't want to live there now... especially Sweden.

They are certainly better than the shithole you call home lol

Typical comment from someone who's never been there.

It actually makes sense tho. Inside Ghot is a 10 year old little boy, so the stories he reads about them having troubles at public pools really hit home.

Well, I was in Spain and France, but never made it to Germany.

A typical visitor never sets a foot into any of the migrant ghettos. Particularly not in Sweden, which is a huge and underpopulated country where these people are housed 10 miles outside of the city center.

I was stationed in Estartit Spain.

We used to get into big big battles with your Russian and Turkish populations lol. It would always involve a dude really mad that a GI was hollering at his woman, and it would all the sudden become America vs Russia outside a bar in Germany. Was surreal.

The Turkish dudes were usually armed with some sort of melee weapon.

I know I romanticize violence a lot. I still live a pretty violent life. I understand its abhorrent to most people and people who have never been hit are truly lucky and blessed.

Me, Jim and Curly were walking by a patio bar in France. A French guy had on a tshirt that said "Fuck America" (1979). When the guy saw us walking by, he stood up and held out the front of the tshirt and pointed at it. Curly flipped out and we three got in a bar fight with like 15 French guys.
Even though we didn't know it's legal to throw bottles in a bar fight in France, we won.


/e We hadn't intended to go to France but we had been drinking and somehow got going north instead of south on just about the only highway in eastern Spain at that time. The plan had been to go to Majorca, Spain, but that was south.

I got into a fight with 6 German guys one night and they beat the shit out of me and broke two wine bottles over my head

Didn't go down through. I walked away and finished my night. I showed up to formation the next day with both eyes swollen shut and messed up hands and the commander was so mad at the company because I was jumped like that. Two other soldiers were there, but they weren't getting involved. They probably got some sort of hazing but I wasnt involved on all that.

The practice of stationing American soldiers all over Europe is pretty funny.

Just the other day on Veterans Day I was looking back at my life and thinking about how high school sports like wrestling and football really prepare you for things like the military in that the military is a natural extension of those things.

Team work using coordinated violence to accomplish some goal. It makes sense that we're punching each other in the face in our downtime.

I took a nice head butt two months ago. Dude apologized for our "battle" and said he thought I was a demon. I was like dude I was bringing you a towel and soap when do demons encourage hygiene lol.
