The Last Firefight

“On this Sunday, I am sitting on the porch across from the Marion Military Institute parade ground smoking a good ‘Dominican’ , drinking a moderately priced ‘Red’, making notes on how to make MMI the best military 2 - year college in America (I think it already is). Meanwhile, I am reading and highlighting a book by Peter Drucker and listening to a CD by the TAMs - crap, I’ve got ashes all over my shirt - looks like I’ve been in a firefight in the Nam.”
