Sarge, I never joined any group. I've had some take me for a "show" and have seen ungodly weaponry - I mean some BIG stuff - hidden in some of the
most unlikely places.
I've been at an intersection and told that with a phone call, fifteen minutes later X number of men would arrive, from that direction within five
minutes X number of armed men would arrive, in THAT direction, within 20 minutes X number of men would arrive, on and on. He wasn't a man to
exaggerate either.
I never even joined the VFW, because I never wanted my name on any list whatsoever.
I've been offered commissions in foreign armies, been recruited by one very famous three-letter agency, as "three sections want you to work for them
- all three are known as the 'boys in the basement.'" So I've been examined very closely by the FBI.
Kept wondering why friends, landlords, associates, professors, and folks I had forgotten repeatedly asked if I was in any kind of trouble. Had no
idea that I would be offered a job with those guys, looking for other devious SOB's.
I don't think I would have much trouble hooking up though, as "like kind" seem to find and know "like kind."
I usually did pretty good on my own, as I only had myself to worry about.
But even I'm not stupid enough to not know my limitations.
I can only be in one place at a time, even though at times I can be a crowd all by myself.
