Did he ever get deployed...?

I say, no.
This would probably frustrate me if I had volunteered.

Lots of people did not fight in a war.
But they did not volunteer either.

Did Morton volunteer to fight in a war?

I say yes.

You were still there if needed so accept the kind words. You do deserve them.

Stop being so nice or I will come back.

For me to accept grateful thoughts besmirches ( and I know it is unintentional) the fine work done by too many others who were risking their lives.



I was in radar repair. The only lives risked doing what I did was yours and everyone else's here.

Do they not use radar to detect incoming? You did your part.

There was no incoming where I was.

Of course if radar was repaired improperly ...you could have had incoming.

Which is what I meant.
