Correction, Brian: there is no such thing as a 'former' veteran. You
either is or you ain't.

I wouldn't be surprised if Joe is a vet. When I came out of the Air
Force, I was pretty well convinced that the military model of keeping
personal weapons in the base (or community) armory was a good model for
maintaining a peaceful society (totally forgetting about the fences and
armed guards that keep out the riffraff, as well as the relative lack of
civil rights a military person has). It took me a year or two to
deprogram the military group-think out of my brain. Some vets I know
have yet to do so, and still buy into the whole 'the militia is the
army' BS.
