Sure, because people never unwittingly stick their foots directly into their mouths, right PRJ?
Obviously he didn't intend the story to take the life it's taken - as evidenced by his surprise..that's just assuming that none of it was feigned..but, you know..he's a smart guy, as he likes to tell it. It would be difficult to imagine that he hadn't considered the possibility of that bit of oversharing backfiring.
Anyway, Benny, IDK why he decided to share, but I'm inclined to think it's because he's a decent guy offering a fig leaf that won't matter a jot to less-than-decent people...personally. He doesn't know that it won't matter because he's not that kind of asshole, whatever other kind of asshole he may once have been. Probably wasn't the best business decision. Still, it was his decision. I'm seeing alot of threads (on the boards and elsewhere) tonight about how super racist everyone that other people knew was back in the day. Is that supposed to help? What is it with the british and their subjects and pakistanis...lol? American racists aren't remotely so specific. Two shades darker than high yellow only has the one word, and it covers em all. Pakistanis are honorary whites, where I'm from..on account of how hilariously racist they so commonly are. Yall didn't include them in your white coalition?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
