The Babylon Bee looks deep into the hearts of men

 And learns the truth:

Heh.  I'm not a big BB fan. It sets out to mock and lampoon the modern Left, and that's a pretty tall order.  Most often the absurdity of our World today far exceeds what comedic writers could concoct.  Nonetheless, it tries.  And once in a while, it does kick one through the uprights.  In this case I confess guilty as charged. 

Kudos for it being the old Fortress America game I mentioned here.  When a satirical piece can bring a smile and some memories, I'd call that a win.

    Due to a childhood infection from scrofula, he lost sight in one eye and good deal of his coordination, and could never have served.

    1. I sympathize. The first healthy male on either side of my family not to serve, I've often wished I had. I almost did. I originally thought of the navy, but toured the USS Alabama and realized that probably wasn't for me, owing to being claustrophobic. Plus I can't swim. I flirted with the army, but my dad lobbied heavily for me to go to college, which would have made me the first on his side to go, so I went. But I've thought about it over the years.
