Ah, thank you for showing me how your personal perspective is universal. Anyone that Radar thinks deserves punishment must deserve punishment.

Why doesn't everyone agree with Radar because he surely knows how everyone should run their lives.

If my head were severed in an accident, I'd know more than you about rights, and pretty much everything else too.

He's just trying to get Pierce to grow beyond nineteen, but at an unnatural speed of forced growth -- to more closely match Radar's late-thirties. Trouble with that idea is that to become mature, you've got to do the time, day for day, year for year. So the immediate result is mutual irritation, glaringly visible. (Kid, Radar's always going to have about fifteen years on you until the day he dies -- though when you're into your twenties the gap will be smaller in all ways except calendric.)

And experiences too: people raised like hothouse plants don't do so well out in the fields. An experience that would teach Pierce why I talk the way I do around here would be at least one hitch in any branch of the Armed Forces but the Air Force (their SpecWar specialties excepted -- which would take him beyond the way I go at things). Some people will tell you the military is not for them. Only in a few cases are they right. A military is very much one-size-fits-all, and you will be called upon to adapt. Of course, it's about an equally poor or equally good fit on those all, which is to say there's only a small group for which it's perfect and a larger group who for reasons nearly as varied as the individuals who find it a fit that's close enough. Those two groups are the career military.

That's enough digression upon the digression. We return now to the previous digression... popcorn, popcorn, who's got the airpopped popcorn with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and grated parmesan cheese sprinkled on...?

What, no :Popcorn: in the Smiley window?? Ah, -- and doughnuts with...
